it’s a little silent for one or two seconds but then we have a true fruits explosion happening, with also a great smokiness. Quite some passion fruits, tangerines, gooseberries, ‘simple’ apples as well as hints of coal oven. Clean, pure, typical old Springbank with little wood influence (very little spices). Maybe some would say it lacks ‘clothes’ but I think it’s quite stunning in it glorious full nudity (what a load of crap, Serge!) Ah, yes, of course, there’s also coconut milk… indeed, we’re in similar territories. It’s maybe even more extravagant and fruity, with more fresh pineapples, more gooseberries, mulberries, apple skin… Also a little oak in the background this time (whiffs of white pepper and a slight sourness). Maybe a little rawer and less elegant than the OB but it’s still interestingly ‘natural’

sweet and a little gingery now, fruity but more discreetly so. Less smoky and less mineral as well. Probably simpler than expected, in fact, although it does get nicely minty after a moment. Sugared pear and apple juices, vanilla, faint hints of nutmeg. Slightly deceptive on the palate, I think, especially at the finish that’s not too long and just on apple juice plus a pinch of salt. Too bad, the nose was really fantastic. 88 points. Springbank 1968/2004 (49.2%, Pacific Caledonian, 271 bottles) This one should also be relatively ‘clean’, as the colour is just as pale yes, more or less the same phenomenon happens now, with a palate that, again, is simpler than the nose, although a little more compact and satisfying than the OB’s. Pear syrup with vanilla pod, vanilla ice cream, bananas… More wood as well, with quite some white pepper, walnut skin, chlorophyll chewing gum. A little better than the OB now, with notes of mint leaves, cough syrup… Quite leafy and rooty too… The finish is longer than 1962’s, quite spicy now, and ‘of course’ quite salty. Very salty in fact. A rawer nose but a palate that’s more satisfying… scratch, scratch… Ok, same rating: 88 points. Prestonfield’s Campbeltown 20 yo 1967 (46%, The Prestonfield, casks #3131/3136) A version I love and this is an opportunity to taste another bottle
