Springbank 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 2017 bottling

Collectors note: Springbank's labels almost always arrive with minor wearing and markings, most often to the top of the front labels. This is unavoidable. If you are likely to be disappointed by minor label scuffing, we recommend you don't buy these whiskies.

Other reviews... (+/- 2018 bottling tasted) Always good to follow this classic. However, in this instance, I’m afraid I don’t know specifics of batch/bottling codes etc... Colour: light gold. Nose: typical mix of salted peanuts and seashore notes, although I find it rather a yeastier version. Notes of proving dough and sourdough starter. Some leafy notes of tobacco, a touch of mint, cider apples, hay, pebbles. All very good and characterful. Mouth: sharply coastal - if you see what I mean - waxes, citrons, cooking oils, nuts, seeds and a splash of ointment and seawater. Mustard, seaweed, various stocky, brothy notes, some dried tarragon and a hint of lychee and rosewater. Akin to a dry Gewurztraminer perhaps with these slightly petrolic notes in the background. Finish: good length, slightly biscuity, salty, medical, flinty and gently earthy. Comments: Not the best of recent batches perhaps, but still great and very dependable. 87 points - whiskyfun.com
