85
- Nose
- Fresh brine. Coconut flesh. A suggestion of banana.
- Palate
- Sweet. Oily. Winey. Marsala? Vine leaves.
- Finish
- Dryish. Gently warming. Long. Very late smokiness and saltiness.
- Comment
- The characteristic salt and coconut characteristics of Springbank are very evident in this bottling, but perhaps overwhelmingly so. I may need more time to understand this one.
90
- Nose
- Midly sawdust like but enriched by a dazzling array of spicy, very faintly smoked fruit notes.
- Palate
- An outstanding tidal wave of spicy, oaky tones level out to reveal a multi-layered richness of malt. All supremely balanced.
- Finish
- Long, toasty and dries very slowly to offer further complexity.
- Comment
- Truly brilliant for a whisky of this age with not a single sign of deterioration.
