Semi-blind tasting with bruichladdich islay barley 2007 and glencadam 15. Theme: no peat, no strong fancy casks and bottle open for > 1.5 years.
This one nice fresh nose, palate nothing special and finish to much campbeltown funk (rubber, earthy). Previously nice apple(juice) on the nose, but thas has gone completely.
I'm afraid current springbanks dont get better over time (few days ago I had the springbank 18 and it was a let down, bottle was open for 2 years). 15 years or so ago the 10 year could get really coconutty after a while, quite nice, but these days i really can't detect any at all.
