2019 edition
Nose- brown sugar; rhubarb; thyme; pine needles; touch of peat; dark chocolate; honey;
Palate- funky rum notes initially; cocoa powder; pineapple juice; herbal sweetness; toasted oak; hint of earthy peat smoke; sherry sweetness
Finish- medium, viscous finish; earthy peat; brown sugar/molasses; touch of tropical fruits
Good, not great. The rum cask influence on this 25 year old springbank is a bit overpowering, to the point that it makes it a bit too simple and young tasting. The sherry comes through a bit, and the balance between the rum cask and sherry is quite nice, but i’m missing that cambeltown funk mixed with heavy peat that i’m accustomed to with springbank. Not my favorite release from them
