    The nose is rather closed from the freshly opened bottle, I suggest to let it breath for 30 minutes and observe the nose before going further.

      Fresh sweetness, like the haw flakes I used to ate when I was a little boy. You can sense that the sherry influence is very dominant, but it's not intense. Figs, prunes, dates. After 30 minutes of breathing, you started to get some light and earthy smoke. The coastal notes, with some salted caramel, and little bit of tuna sashimi. Rocks, minerals, dark chocoalate. This is a very complex 12 year old.

      Gentle arrival, it's 46% for sure. Light smokiness, all those coastal and minerals notes, salted almond. Some lemon and lime combo, which I always like to find them in any Springbank. Slight sweetness, dark chocolate, a little bit of metallic and pretty oily on the tongue.
    • Finish
      89 89
      Fresh and long finish, with smoky, briney and nuttiness dominating, with a slight hint of licorice. A little bit of wood tannin and oakiness in the tailing end.
