Springbank 15 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 700ml

Springbank 15 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 700ml 

Nose: Starts with trail of smoke and tropical fruits, turns into caramel and toffee. After a little rest in the glass and drops of water, this dram gets bit dampy. And medicinal. Fruity notes are still there but with some maritime touch.

Taste: Hints of peat smoke with sweet and dry sherry. Nice notes of salty licorice stay in the background, while exotic fruits dominate. Mostly fresh green fruits and juicy tangerines, along with oak tannins and hints of spices. Drops of water bring out crispy citrus, vanilla and little bit of marzipan notes.

Finish: Lots of dryness. Warming spices and sweet sherry notes. Dried fruits stay with you quite long. Drops of water makes it even drier, and adds crispiness. Very late in the aftertaste, some licorice notes rise up.

Balance: Can’t compete with Springbank 12YO in complexity and quality but doesn’t trail far behind. Rich and characteristic dram in nice balance. And please, let it rest in the glass. This one needs time to evolve.
