Tasting Notes – Springbank 25 Year Old (2021 Release)
Nose:
Ripe tropical fruits meet tart rhubarb and warm golden syrup. Layers of shortbread and toasted coconut follow, unfolding into deeper aromas of barbecued meats and fresh sugar cane.
Palate:
Lusciously rich with flavors of almonds, pecan pie, and creamy butterscotch. Peat smoke gradually rises, introducing notes of cigar box, leather-bound books, and earthy salt. The unmistakable Campbeltown maritime influence emerges with briny elegance.
Finish:
Long and refined. Peat whispers in the background as earthy warehouse notes and hints of bung cloth linger. A final flourish of molasses and sweet Prosciutto ham completes this unforgettable journey.
