And here we are. The last dram of a now empty bottle. A fine bottle it was. When I try new whisky I always try to find something unique that stands out from the general variants. And Springbank for sure is unique - you can easily blind-identify its - that’s how defined it flavors are. Nose: dry grains, summer hay, apple peel, nutty, lots of vanilla, lemon, sour peaches, crispy cereals and surrounding everything a soft and delicious peat - just minor but it really adds to the character of this intriguing nose. Palate: sweet peat at first, wood chips, vanilla, sweet cookies with a bid of cream, hay and then there is a very unusual hard to grasp taste that is bid like seaweed or wet moss. It is just really great.
