Tasting Notes – Springbank 12 yo
- Nose: A range of aromas: Marmalade – Orange zest, zingy, honeycomb and highland toffee, hints of liquorice and mint chocolates. Let it breathe to reveal a true Springbank style.
- Palate: Very robust & mouth coating, subtle hints of white pepper. Grassy and zesty as the nose suggests. Perfect balance of sherry and then vanilla and oak flavours.
- Finish: Salted pretzels & peat. Cocoa – Dark chocolate & coffee beans.
Tasting Notes – Springbank 17 yo
- Nose: A sherry explosion with winter fruits, spicy gingerbread and a hint of peat.
- Palate: A winter warmer. dark orange chocolate, Christmas cake and brandy snaps. Honey and spices develop over time.
- Finish: The finish is long and smooth. Espresso coffee, liquorice, marzipan and sherry conclude the tickling of the taste buds.
Tasting Notes – Springbank 21 yo
- Colour: Pure Gold
- Nose: A creamy delight. The soft richness of this classic dram provides the backdrop for toffee and cereal notes, interspersed with bursts of freshly picked strawberries and ripe watermelon.
- Palate: Robust and steadfast. A dry creamy oiliness points to the Fino Sherry casks used in maturation while background maritime influences demonstrate this is a true Campbeltown Malt. Sugared almonds are heavily present as well as a dash of cinnamon.
- Finish: Creamy with an evolving length which coats the mouth and finally gives up it’s peaty origins.
