Springbank 10 Year

Spicy citrus on the nose. Delicious lemon citrus, pears, orange marmalade and leather. Oily mouth-feel. Fruit and spicy citrus hang around for a long finish with a salty touch at the end. Loves a teaspoon or two of water. Beautiful, well crafted whisky!

not easy, very rich, crisp, waxy, salty, little citrusy, rice wine, dried fruits, green apple zest, kiwi, herbal, extinguish candle smoke, hint of orange, malty-mineral core, extraordinary candy-floral finish and pleasent oaky aftertaste :) :) :) yummy

Excited to try this one out after reading so much praise about it and the Springbank distillery. Nose: Citrus right up front followed by some earthiness and subtle smoke. As it develops in the glass more smoke and fruit comes through. Taste: Soft and creamy, rich sweet melon and citrus, mild spice, salt, vanilla, orchard apples. All married together by a perfect amount peat smoke. Very balanced and delicious. Finish: Lingering and evolving. Smoked salmon? dark nuts, hint of salted dark chocolate, spicy. Drys the mouth. I would put this in the same category with Talisker 10 and Highland Park 12. I prefer island drams over Islays when I’m in the mood for smoke, I usually find most Islays overwhelming with the peat. I think I still prefer Talisker over this but it is one of the best scotches I’ve had. Tastes like eating a melon over a bonfire on the beach!
