TASTING NOTE: A surprising hint of peat ash; makes the lemon citrus carry a shade more weight; that usual Springbank trick at this age of showing oaky depth bouncing off the youthful malt; excellent oil and still a touch of smoke; thins out with a bitter-ish vanilla tang; although the inherent youthfulness of the 10-y-o has not changed, the depth of body around it has. Keeps the taste buds on full alert. Score - 89.5 (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2014) |
