Springbank 15 Year Old Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 750 ml bottle

Springbank 15 Year Old 92 Proof Single Malt Scotch Whisky. As the eye takes in the dark russet colour of the 15 Year Old the nose anticipates the rich sweet smell of the sherry casks used to mature this age of Springbank. The anticipation is rewarded as you remove the cork and allow the sherry aromas to drift out. However the sweet nose on this dram only begins to suggest the full range of flavours which emerge on the palate; dark chocolate figs marzipan brazil nuts and vanilla all mingle to DRAMatic effect! Warming and elegant on the finish. A truly classic Springbank that is best enjoyed after-dinner or with your favourite cigar. The complex understated bouquet finds aromas of barley malt seaweed heather oaky vanilla honey sherry cask scrambled egg and minerals. The palate entry is oily buttery and oaky sweet; by midpalate the flavors include assertive tastes of marzipan marshmallow baked pear/peach pastry and bacon fat. Finishes with a luscious fruit/grape thrust. A masterpiece.
