Springbank 18 Year Old 2021 Edition
Just as our 2016 bottle of Springbank has gone out the door, I managed to find a couple more bottles of the “sold out everywhere” Springbank 18 Year Old 2021 Edition release.
This is known to be the staple in the Springbank range (As well as the 10 year) but personally I feel this is where the maturation hits the spot. Springbank describes the 18 Year as full of authority and is a classic, full-bodied dram. With a delicious nose, this whisky will tempt you in and hold your attention as you uncover its unique palate and finish.
Tasting Notes:
Nose
The sherry influence is immediately apparent on the nose, with notes of raisins, prunes, mixed peel and fruit cake. There are notes of hard toffee and crème caramel, along with a spicy, wood element.
Palate
The palate introduces notes of madeira cake, marzipan and gingerbread. There is a sweetness in notes of honey and syrup and the creamy caramel note from the nose persists.
Finish
A woody finish with notes of allspice and aniseed.
700ml 46% Alcohol
