Springbank 10 Year

Smoky nice flavor and coated after taste.

Saltwater brine, light smoke, raisin and apple are the dominant notes here. A lovely, oily mouth feel and a somewhat dry, lingering finish. I'll have this bottle in my bar for as long as they keep making it. Fair price for the age and quality, too. If I could say anything negative about Springbank 10, or just Springbank in general, it's their graphic design. I find the label design uninspiring and uninviting. It's doesn't have that traditional, classy, old-timey feel of a Lagavulin, or the nouveau sensibilities of Bruichladdie. Nothing about it speaks to the delicious golden perfection waiting for you in the bottle - and what a shame this is. We browse the aisles of our local shops with our eyes moreso than our heads.

Mooi, helder, duidelijk, alles zit erin, mooi gebalanceerd.

Great whisky. Peppery, light, malty.

Peaty with a full mouth of flavour. Not fruity, and quite alcoholic in taste. Hint of tabaco
