Tasting Notes

Nose; Traditional Springbank aromas; saltiness, sea shells and fresh oysters bursting through. Followed just as intensely by pepper-jack cheese, honeycomb and vanilla pods.

Palate; Whipped cream, pear drops and a heathery note are quickly engulfed by barley water, sherbet mix, sugar cane, nectarines and dandelions.

Finish; A gentle dry peat circulates before squashed plums, raisins, cracked pepper and dry straw emerge.
