Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
light – not weak – in style, starting on a mix of diluted lemon juice, grains and smoke. Slight hints of cologne, porridge, ginger ale… Gets then rather flowery (lily of the valley) and even a little perfumy (vetiver, lemon balm) and finally quite mineral (wet stones), with also hints of plastic. Not hugely expressive but quite clean and complex considering it’s only five years old
restaurant Palate
starts rather smoothly, on peppered apple juice, paraffin and something quite herbal (grass juice – ever tried that?) and grows then bolder and more assertive, with quite some dried bitter oranges, mastic sweets, smoked tea and coffee flavoured toffee. Quite mature, I guess the bottle did a good part of the work here. Gets more almondy with time and the finish is frankly nutty (fresh ones) and slightly smoky. It’s not grand single malt but it’s very enjoyable and quite historical, because it shows that the great old Springbanks were probably not only a matter of good cask management. 86 points .
