Tasting Notes

Colour

light gold

air Nose

it’s frankly annoying how these well-aged Springbanks are always bang on target, perched right atop the podium. Pink grapefruit, brake dust, candle wax, turpentine, Tiger Balm, fresh sourdough, seaweed, wet chalk, facial cream, sand and pebbles on the beach… Etc. With water: barley and pistachio syrups, fruit salad, agave syrup, and the faintest touch of tarry smokiness

restaurant Palate

exceptional cask contribution when it comes to texture, with fir honey, mangoes, peaches and passion fruit, grapefruit of course, beeswax, tiny banana, a smidgen of olive oil, a splash of seawater, and a few stones… All of this is frankly very aggravating. With water: it gets even worse with the arrival of papayas and mirabelles, plus even more minerality. What sort of sorcery is this?

timer Finish

rosehip tea, manuka honey, salted butter caramel, and just the right amount of pu-ehr tea and whelks (and clams)
