Another indie bottling sold by TWB (which bears a cunning similarity to the Whisky Broker bottlings). Every springer is welcome at WI towers, and especially cask strength & single cask ones. always something to look forward too, and this one did not disappoint.
Springbank 14 yo Burns Malt , 54.3% abv , £61.30 (TWB)
Nose: This one is lovely to start with as it displays a dirty sort if malty side. Got to love this, these moments are what make scotch so interesting and enticing. Add a Some apples and damp wood, sprinkle some cinnamon and waxy notes, and you’ve got yourself a superb nose.
Palate : Salty and malty with a bit if smoke too. Light earthy peat layered on some fruit and Brine. It’s also spiced with some sulphur, and nicely so.
Finish: sulphur-y. Salty with Smoke and bits of peat.
This is just a lovely example of Springbank, with everything you can expect from a 14 year old. Salt, malt, peat, smoke, fruit. Winner.
Score: 88/100
