NOSE: Full, fruity and complex, barely noticeable alcohol. First, a fresh fruit basket, then more tropical fruit salad, in the course of oranges, apples (fresh green + older red), peach, oranges. A great development as well as the taste and aftertaste!
It adds a mineral, maritime touch, clear Springbank influence but without "dirt", then citrus notes and a dry "woody odor".

TALES: Great texture elegant and full. Full fruit flavor first apples, tropical fruits (as well as in the nose) then some salt, briefly chocolate, pepper possibly nutmeg? Then vanilla and apple + lemon.

NACHKLANG: Long-lasting and here a development that I rarely have in shape, the fruits come through again .. then the wood influence with spices and towards the end of a very intense full apple flavor.

Conclusion: A great blend! Great "composed", balanced, super "development" 91 points.

Tasting notes by Ruben Luyten
Nose:
Herbal and floral at first. Heather honey. Becomes wider and sweeter, with nougat but also slightly exotic fruits (guava, banana). Nicely waxy, with some coconut oils. Mineral touches as well, it’s easy to detect some Springbank in there.
Mouth:
Creamy and surprisingly fruity. Slightly exotic fruits indeed: pineapple, orange and papaya. Balanced herbal notes and waxed furniture. Vanilla. Honey. Pretty old-school, how nice to find this in a blend. Hardly any grainy notes.
Finish:
Long, some grains now, hints of oak as well, but also fruity sweetness.
A very nice surprise, especially for a blended whisky. Well composed, interestingly old-style and very reasonably

Score: 90/100

This was Frank McHardy’s final project before retiring as Springbank production director. This blend consists of 75% malt whiskies [from five distilleries covering the five whisky regions], and 25% grain whisky. It would be reasonable to assume there’s a proportion of Springbank in here, but that is only an assumption.

N: Fusty, dusty/sooty/ashy, nutty, gritty, grassy=cereal-y lemony soft with stringy candy, light caramel, baking fruits, a little papaya, medjool dates, faded [brown] leather [tOMoH], banana shake, rose herbal soap, vanilla cream,… Cracking and congenial nose. 
T: Not a whiff of grain early on. With a strong, direct & bitter arrival, this is barley malt forward - rich, soft floury malt countered by an firm, acute citrus character towards bitter lemon & grapefruit. Later it creams up as those casks of 30 years take hold of the reigns.
F: Lots of moving parts to the finish. Soft & integrated woody and gravel-y sour vanilla cream joins the bitter~sour citrus, a sweetish<savoury Euthymol candy fruitiness and mineral barley notes with sooty=smokey hints throughout. However it’s the mineral-y=pebble-y citrus that remains stalwart.
C: The bottle didn’t last too long, a testament to its tastiness. I recommend only a little water.Scores a B[+}
