  1. dRambo scored this whisky 85 points Connoisseur

    nothing special - maybe I'm just too stupid to understand the genius
    • Nose
      burnt paper, sour syrupy port note, BBQ sauce, burnt car tires, quite dense - somehow too acidic
    • Taste
      sweet and fruity with fine smoke, liquorice

      Warmth of dry red fruits, herbs, tea essence, nutmeg & allspice. Soon later the salty sea wind on the beach in the autumn .. - lots of iodine, medicinal hints (I was born at the seaside). Some maggi/worcester/balsamico di Modena, dark honey, natural wax, wet ex-sherry dark wood. Alcohol noticeable but rather well covered by other scents.

      Starts with a ineral touch, with some nice herbs, not disturbing at all. Sweetness develop in mouth, together with some roasted plums, toasted wood, dark wallnuts? At some point becoming crispy, like salty crackers. Orange oil, maybe 70% cocoa chocolate, and a bit of iodine pops out at the end
    • Finish

      Warm, smooth but maritime at the same time. Mix of cherry and plum pits with washed wood and medicinal taste. Brings memory of an old-fashionedx dry-taste cherry casks, totally not sweet (unlike today's cheery casks) but rather deep in sensory experiences.

  7. Malinois scored this whisky 87 points Expert Senior

    Not really a typical Springbank. It's cask driven by the sweet port cask and some gentile peat. When adding a bit of water, there's a note of that 'Campbeltown orangery' like i call it.

  8. KayMeertens scored this whisky 87 points Connoisseur

    • Nose
      Toffee, cranberry, mocha and pineapple.
    • Taste
      Blackberry, peat, mango, pineapple and orange.
    • Finish
      Blackberry, pineapple, peat, mango and orange.

    What should I say ... I find the endgeil!
    • Nose
      I'm standing on the part ... Really nice, juicy pipe smoke with slightly sour blackberry flavor. A sweet leather note and liquorice. Very full with lots of berry notes. Herbs, dark chocolate, vanilla. Moist tobacco and wet wood. Slightly salty and moldy water. With time in the glass cloves and nutmeg come with a pinch of cinnamon. Smells like gingerbread dough. Personally, I find that the alcohol is very well integrated. He just brings a slight mental coolness with him. There is still a bitterness that reminds me of cold espresso.
    • Taste
      Tough, honey-like, spicy onset. The subtle pipe smoke is now more sweetish. Nut chocolate, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries ... a fruit basket. Herbs, cinnamon, vanilla and tobacco. The bitterness in the taste is more nutty and woody. Cereal and a pinch of pepper. But everything is somehow picked up by an oily sweetie. The alcohol suits me and brings a subtle sharpness, power and freshness.
    • Finish
      Long and spicy. Some pepper and again the gingerbread spices. Moist, sweetish tobacco stays longer. The track smoke, makes the overall picture complete!
