Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 15th Release
It's a miracle we could source what we did.
One of the most anticipated releases in the Scotch whisky calendar, Springbank’s annual, all-natural 12 year old never fails to impress. By all reports, this is one you’re not wanting to miss. Unfortunately the allocation for Australia is miniscule - buy one and you'll wish you had a second. Released in Europe in mid-2017, this edition was drawn from a combination of 70% Sherry casks and 30% bourbon casks and bottled without chill filtration.
Notes from the bottler... Nose: It's reminiscent of walking in an autumn forest full of pine and chestnut trees, before returning home to the iodine of a Campbeltown malt and ending with a delicate hint of peat. Palate: A gorgeous richness on the palate which is balanced between citrus marmalade on toast and caramelised toasted marshmallows, not forgetting flavours of vanilla and pepper. It’s a lip licking meaty dram. Finish: A delicious, viscous, smooth liquid with a salty edge. It brings back memories of a ham joint which has been marinated in a rich honey sauce and slow baked in the oven. 56.5% Alc./Vol.
