Springbank 10 Year Old
Distillery: SpringbankStyle: Single Malt
Release: Unspecified
Age: 10 Years
Alcohol: 46% abv.
Region: Scotland, Campbeltown
Bottled For: Distillery
The 10 Year Old is the perfect introduction to the Springbank range. Whilst bourbon casks are mainly used for maturation, allowing the distillery character to shine through, a number of sherry casks are also used for added body. The light colour of this malt belies the richness of its character. Whilst the nose suggests a wide range of aromas, from citrus fruits to pears and a hint of peat, the palate excites even further with a touch of smoke, vanilla essence, nutmeg, cinnamon and the salty tang we have come to expect from Springbank. Complexity is the key word here yet it remains perfectly balanced from first sip to the full, rich finish.

Review by: Colin
Color: Orange - Old Gold
Nose: Peat, Bacon fat, Wet hyde, Cereal, Alcohol, Sea death when watered
Body: Full, Sharp, Slightly dry. Becomes quite sweet with water.
Palate: Peat, Sea death, Brine, Seaweed, Chocolate hiding beneath it all. Water brings out lots of oak.
Finish: Long burn, Sea death, Rocky beach. Very long with water developing into sweet mint and oak.

Very complex and flavourful for being so young. A cold rocky seashore whisky. Loves water.
