Official Tasting Notes Springbank 25 Year Old

Nose – Initially rhubarb, tropical fruits, golden syrup, shortbread. Then coconut shavings, barbecued meats and sugar cane.

Palate –  Almonds, pecan pie, butterscotch. Peat starts building alongside cigar box and old library notes. Very typical of a mature Springbank; salty, earthy and briny.

Finish –  Refined with a hint of peat smoke. Dunnage warehouse; earthy, bung cloth. Fruit notes develop with hints of molasses and sweet Prosciutto ham.

Springbank is one of only two distilleries in Scotland to perform every step in the whisky making process, from malting the barley to bottling the spirit, on same premises: the other is Kilchoman Distillery who also grow their own barley.
