Archer scored this whisky 90 points 
The 10yo is pure Springbank essence, is concentrated and bottled distillery character and the liquid confirmation that Springbanks distillates don't even have to be left in the warehouse for too long.
-
The scent of freshly squeezed lemon juice mixed with a grapefruit purée, lightly salted. Wonderfully fresh and mineral at the same time. Rain-wet pebbles, mortar, machine oil, plus an emerging note of curry spices.
-
Pleasantly strong attack, which is less creamy than before (~2016 batches), but which nevertheless makes you think of Springbank. Salted tangerine slices, grapefruit, pineapple pieces. As in the nose, curry spices gain their place after a while with a focus on cardamom. Add pepper and the well-known and highly revered mineral note: salt water on pebbles. Later cocoa and milk coffee and always a spicy mineral fruitiness.
-
Long finish, clearly mineral with a hint of peat smoke, but without losing the fruitiness.
