Michael Jackson
90- Nose
- Distinctly fruity. Peaches. Sherryish. Nutty.
- Palate
- Big flavours-and it's packed with them. Liquorice. Salt. Spice merchants. Dusty.
- Finish
- Big, spicy explosion.
- Comment
- Springbank in pyrotechnic form. The sherry doubles the flavours, but arguably also softens the Campbeltown character.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Amazingly buttery; butterkist popcorn/crème caramel/tablet. Water opens it and rings out some dry smoke, sultana and charred oak.
- Palate
- Mouthfilling, complex. Sweet, then unfolds and dries: date loaf, black olive, smoke, caramelised fruits.
- Finish
- Leather, long, great balance.
- Comment
- The sweetest Springbank I've ever tried. Has the extra dimension that elevates great malts from good.
