The nose greets you with a rich chocolate and barnyard funk mix followed by buttered cinnamon raisin toast then fruits of sun baked salted orange, baked apple, and charred lemon that transitions to a cavern minerality, light ginger, and light oak with high ethanol burn. The taste is a syrupy rich mouthfeel starting with a moderate spice before rich chocolate with toasted nuts and barnyard funk mix followed by cinnamon raisin cookies then fruits of sun baked salted orange, baked apple, and charred lemon that transitions to a cavern minerality, light ginger, and mild oak with high ethanol burn. The finish is medium length with dark chocolate covered raisins, charred orange peel, lemon drop candy, fresh cut hay, and light oak. The nose is fantastic on this that makes me feel like Russell Crowe in Gladiator walking through fields of wheat while eating a rich chocolate bar then some slightly funky fruits, minerality and light oak that carries over to the taste with a mild spice and addition of toasted nuts that finishes with dark chocolate, citrus and mellow barnyard funk. The cask strength on this one really brings those Springbank notes in with big bold flavors but the youth with a moderate spice on the taste are my main faults with it. This was an incredible treat that @Richard-ModernDrinking was kind enough to share and a great start to my Springbank series.
