Tasting Notes

Colour

pure gold

air Nose

very honeyed, with some big notes of bitter orange, fudge and candy sugar. It goes on with some fresh tropical fruits like guava, mango and pineapple, and whiffs of dried herbs. Nice but perhaps a little too ‘laidback’

restaurant Palate

rather punchy this time, but also a bit too tannic. It gets surprisingly peppery, with some heavy notes of black tea. The finish is long but curiously herbal and grassy, more austere than what you’d expect from such an old Springbank. Anyway, it’s a good one but not one of the best old Murray McDavid Springbanks (some, including from 1965, are thrilling). 87 points . Springbank 1969/1997 (51.6%, Dun Eidean, butt #2381, 590 bottles)
