1991 Lombard Jewels of Scotland Springbank Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)

From quiet independents 'Lombard' comes this 13 year old Springa' bottled at 50%. Reportedly matured in sherry wood and bottled way back in 2004, a similar though younger expression from 2001 was summed up by whiskymag.com as "...lovely young Springbank with all the distillery's classic attributes." Lombard was originally based on the Isle of Man. Although blending was their chief concern, they began to acquire stocks of well-selected single malt in the 1960s, the legacy of which has provided some fascinating independent releases. Extremely limited stocks.

Notes from the bottlers... Nose is subtle and complex. A creamy start and with citrus zest. Firm structure with plenty of flavour development. Mouth filling, powerful and complex with good length. Jump and bites.
