Well lets get the monkey in the room out of the way. Springbank Green? Is this environmentally friendly? Packaging is the same, but it seems they've chosen to use "organic" barely, but not their LOCAL barely. I'm not sure what exactly to make of this, not environmentally friendly and possibly using dangerous pesticides. Perhaps a light tongue and cheek joke at the organic industry. I will allow it! Nose - sherry comes right out and says high. Tart citrus with that wonderful red fruits and maybe a hint of dark chocolate mixing into it. I could see green apples and lemons as fruit notes with perhaps a touch of a honey combs cereal on the sweetness. Taste - The flavor is much less citrus and instead brings in more fall fruit notes, much more buttery and savory springbank malt notes come in here. Oh I'm starting to get dark fruits and old worn leather and nice oak notes. I don't get any salt or even any overt peat, just a touch of a meaty back here as it opens up. Water brings out honey, a lot of honey. Finish - oh that springbank sherry finish just lingers on the back of the tongue while a light and gentle sweetness just hangs around. This is just an outstanding younger scotch. Absolutely one to seek out or at least find a sample/tasting of. 4.25 because well...I just can't go any higher without a bit more of an older whisky note or perhaps something more complex in the malt character. Springbank shall be forgiven for the name "green" but they're on probation!
