Zu Beginn Noten von Marzipan und Lakritze sowie Toffee.
Wie ein selbstgebackener Kuchen. Der klassische Springbank-Style ist deutlich, unterst�¼tzt von Fruchtnoten zu erkennen. Vollmundig und ölig von dem Moment an, wenn er den Gaumen trifft. Getrocknete Fr�¼chte, Mandeln und ein Hauch Rauch.
Sehr langer Abgang mit verweilenden Aromen von Rosinen und dunkler Schokolade.

Color

Yellow gold

Nose

Fruit, vanilla, toffee, quite fragrant, touch of smoke and brine.

Taste

Sweet salty start, fruit, brown sugar and toffee, nice oily texture, spicy and peppery, wood and smoke.

Finish

Wood and smoke, salt and brine, lingering sweetness and fruit, slight spiciness, long lasting.

Comments

I find this quite complex with a lot going on in it. It needs time to open up.

A very enjoyable dram that I look forward to trying more of.

It's great! Don't get me wrong.......buy the 15 instead. The 18 is just not better.

In an interstellar burst, I\'m back to save the universe.

Color

Old gold

Nose

honeycomb/wax o, grass o, white wine -, perfume -, artificial vanilla -, leather -, a few caramel notes occasionally but very fleeting.

Taste

funny woody & sandy attack first of that dries out the tongue, slightly harsh/coarse/prickly if that makes any sense...

Finish

sweet & dry (tongue turns pelt-y), some artificial perfume notes, some wood (bright, sanded, treated), sandalwood ? / curry ? something spicy in the background, and a tiny bit of peat occasionally

Comments

ok, but leaves me fairly cold & unexcited

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...
