Taste

A powerful, full, lush, layered, balanced, and complex whisky with aroma’s of white pepper, soft smoke, earthy peat, heather honey, licorice, sea salt, bitter orange marmalade, orange zest, hay, grass, soft tones of dried flowers, slightly bitter tannins, old tea, nutmeg, spicy ginger, sawdust, caramel, coriander, cedar wood, sweet tobacco, hint of coconut, vanilla, dried stone fruits (mainly prunes with some macerated cherries), green tea, mocha, dried herbs (bouquet garni), leather, spicy oak, hint of banana and various roasted nuts.

A very good powerful and balanced whisky. Rating: 88

Nose

The nose is rich, deep and subtle. Flavors of malt, oak and leather. We are also clearly on exotic fruits. Then comes honey, salted butter caramel and a discreet smoke.

Taste

The mouth is thick, peppery on red fruits and exotic fruits (mango) Chocolate, caramel, dried apricots and vanilla and a little smoke. With a little water, one feels a frank opening on the grapefruit and the dried herbs.

Finish

Medium long finish on honey, caramel and peat.

wonderful cask strength gem. easily one of the best entry level whiskies with great complexity and presented with no caramel or chill filtration. Quality wood used. Will become iconic and partly responsible for the renaissance of Springbank. I think at retail price this is amazing value.

Nose: Very interesting, very rich. Leather, sherry, polish, soft smoke, etc.

Palate: Smoky and mineral, pepper, red fruits. Great thick mouthfeel, you can chew it!

Finish: Smoky, dry and dissapointingly short.

Conclusion: A great honest malt that displays the beautiful and rich Springbank character. It has a great mouthfeel and bursts with flavour. It's only flaw is its short finish and high price tag.
