Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
curiously floral and very fruity right from the start. Lots of fresh pineapple, pear juice, fresh bananas. Incredibly fresh for such an old malt, it must have been a super-neutral cask. It gets then slightly yeasty, on mashed potatoes and yoghurt, with some hints of fresh herbs. Nice and lively, but it smells almost like a young Bladnoch!
restaurant Palate
rather delicate right from the start, on rose jelly, Turkish delight and all sorts of fresh fruits (apples, pears, watermelon). Add to that a dash of white pepper. It then gets slightly herbal, with some notes of fresh parsley. The finish is, again, quite delicate and a little buttery, with some fructose, icing sugar. In short, this one is quite special, for it tastes so young. A perfect malt to play a good trick during a ‘blind’ session? Anyway, it’s really enjoyable and a nice curiosity. 87 points . Springbank 37 yo 1968/2005 (47.5%, The Whiskyfair, 216 bottles)
