Green apples, pear, vanilla, and leather on the nose. At 46% ABV I still recommend a couple drops of water on this dram to unlock the toffee, caramel, mint, pepper, smoke, and nutmeg. What a nice heavy mouth coat for a lower ABV as well. The finish is medium with Chinese five spice and milk chocolate. I’d love to be able to find a cask strength of this organic barley wonder. Just 9000 bottles. Since I am enjoying this as Christmas Eve flows into Christmas Day, the theme for this dram is “Let it Snow!!” by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn.

I wish I had a local barley to do one. Especially the 16 :)))
Hey @Telex - I love how you’re the pioneering review for this 13yr as well as the Springbank 14yr. Now looking forward to you being the first review on the Springbank Local Barley 10yr
@LeeEvolved - Same, I didn’t pull the trigger when I saw it on the shelf & was gone on the return visit. Seems like the two Green vintages are still attainable though unlike the Springbank Local Barleys
@SolanaRoots - nah, I missed the boat on this one and I am relying on @Telex for the generous pour.
Great review as always @Telex - does this one have a non-Christmas theme song as well? And hey @LeeEvolved - reading your comment, do you have a bottle of this tucked away?
Nice review, Telex. I’m looking forward to trying this one myself. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas. Cheers.
Merry (Green) Christmas!
