Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
full-on rum-soaked chocolate and raisins at first, and that goes on for quite a while before notes of petrol and shoe polish start to sneak in, together with fresh plaster, all adding that proverbial ‘Springbankness’. Then come dried apricots and a few wisps of crème de menthe. Very lightly oaked for now, leaning more towards singed fir wood than anything else
restaurant Palate
chocolate, fir wood and mint right from the outset, and the whole thing is almost as dry as a cane thrashing—not a flaw at all in this context. We’re soon heading toward dark tobacco and bitter chocolate, paired with clove and juniper, plus a slight touch of salted grapeseed oil—that’s pure Springbank. No sulphury notes, which one might have feared in this vintage, especially in a sherry version
timer Finish
long, saltier, with more of that very black tea, mint, and, believe it or not, a drop of mezcal. The famous Campbeltown agaves, aren’t they (just joking)
