He is delicious, you do not notice the blend, he still has youthful strength, but good taste for the age, with 90-100 € fair prizes.

Nose

intense, grainy sweetness, light tingle (salty-sour freshness), biscuits with lemon icing, some orange / peach jam

Taste

pretty intense, lasting pinch of salt & pepper on the tongue, with plenty of wood influence - forest honey, cocoa, nutella, blackberry jam ....

Finish

long and peppery, from sip to sip more bittersweet chocolate

Dusty initially, it is warm at the opening. Salted butter caramel, dried apricots, cereals. Scented and very round. On the palate, super melted and mellow with the first sip, it is buttered and creamy with sweet spices. Quite corpulent for a blend. Finale rather fleshy for a blend.

Enthusiasm
Nose 4/5
Mouth & Finale 3/5

Tasted at Tunsberg Whisky Festival 2019.
Fairly priced for a 21YO
Don't expect a pure Springbank. It's a blend, and as such it is a quite good one.

Nose

Earthy, vegetal green. Rubarb sprouts.
Sweet cereals with a pinch of salt.

Taste

87 87

Oily and relatively sweet arrival.
Again that fresh slighty sour rubarb.
Enough spice to give a pleasant warmth, and here as well; a pinch of salt.
Not the typical Campbeltown, but the difference doesn't make it a bad whisky.

Finish

Medium lenght.
Moving from spicy sweet to bitter dry.

Good value at around 80 €.

Some sulphur (firecrackers), brine and faint smoke on the nose, along with zesty, acidic fruit. Also something oily.

In keeping with the Springbank style, the palate presents as tart, astringent, lemony and salty with soft smoke. This has quite some kick to it at 46% and does not seem much mellowed by age. The grain content is indiscernible to me, apart from a vague softness perhaps.

The finish could be longer, but it's nice, with maritime peat, saltwater and a dash of lime.

This was sampled from a low remaining quantity in a bar so it could have been up on the shelf for years, so might not be representative of the whisky overall, but if it were, it is not a great advertisement for Campbeltown!

Nose

quite hard to get a reading, very reticent; sharp a bit grassy, then grass seems to morph into apple

Taste

bit like the alcohol on a hand wipe, yes something akin to a Girvan in there, but what peat there is is pretty subtle. Lemon scented handwipe is a little unkind - more like grassy handwipe or a hand lotion (but not the oily kind)

Finish

short->medium; more short than anything - a little sickly but it dissipates pretty quickly

There is no Campbeltown feeling and the associated high standard, but water helps a lot.

Nose

Interesting and slowly open one. Caramel, honey, flowers, tea, citruses, vanilla. Mild smoke.

Taste

Freshly grated lemon peel, spicy oak, milk chocolate, earth.

Finish

Medium length, bittersweet.

Tasted at a Malt Mongers Israel evening

I was a bit let down by this one. I’ve had it before (about a year ago) and remember quite liking it but this time round I really felt the acetone notes on it which were far too strong and overpowering.

Reviewed in my blog: https://iwriteaboutstuffilike.com/2017/01/21/malt-mongers-israel-aged-blends-night/

Nose

Light floral notes. Honey. Acetone. Milk chocolate. Pears.

Taste

Bitter wood. Citrus peel. Slightly earthy. Dust

Finish

Medium long. Bitter citrus. Fennel. Anise. Acetone.

Nose:-
Closed. Patiently wait for the aroma to open up, drop of water helps.
Slightly pungent. Floral, toasted malt and thought I get some black tea
leaf in there.

Palate:- Mellow,
soft spices, savoury. Earthy flavor derived from campbeltown peat that
reminds me of Springbank only highlight of this dram. I find it somehow a
bit hollow and dull, not quite the usual 'hit you on the teeth'
campbeltown whisky that I am expecting.

Finish:- Medium with bitterness and astringent.

— at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.
