Tasting Notes

Colour

bright gold

air Nose

a perfect lineage, more evident in casks that aren’t too active like this one, even though the Distillery filled plenty of active sherry casks in those vintages. Here we find seawater, putty, old paint pots, ashes, wax, chalk, citrus peels, paraffin, old papers, and even sardines and anchovies

restaurant Palate

it’s crazy, you’d swear it was a 1993, I assure you. Has anything ever changed at Springbank? Paint, tar, paraffin, metallic touches (copper), lemon, petrol, seawater, shellfish (our friends, the whelks) ... Then the expected citrus and just plain apples. Plain but very good apples

timer Finish

of medium length but very consistent, with tar and hints of brine. The putty lingers even into the aftertaste
