Aroma: caramel, condensed milk, sweet oranges and their peel, autumn leaves, salt, minerals, lime, coniferous branches, smoke in the background, locksmith, used engine oil, a little sulfur; all this, coupled with menthol freshness and sea breeze. The aroma is very thick but not thorny for its strength.

Taste: dense, sweet and spicy: chocolates, honey, ginger, cinnamon, coffee with milk, orange peel, red pepper, smoked meat, salt, minerality, a bit bitter herbal infusion.

Finish: long, slowly fading, caramel, minerals, honey, needles, unrefined oil, wax, spices in the background.

Rating: 90

The result: a great barrel batch! And the whole Springbank as all of Scotland is in one glass, very diverse ... I tried Batch 11 head-on, there are differences in small nuances, and the WB doesn’t jump from batch to batch. So the line Cask Strength can be safely recommended for purchase.
