Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

The most salty/briney and oily textured Scotch I've ever tasted - even the glass appears oily after this dram! Once you get over the peat, there is some neat complexity here: medicinal, phenolic, smoky, salt/brine, green apple, citrus, hints of wild flower honey and vanilla. Key flavours include: smoke, brine, salted caramel popcorn and black peppercorn kick in the finish.
- Medium-Full body
- Alcohol is integrated to smooth
- Medium finish (salty, buttery, smoky & oily)
- Smoky & Peaty Camp
Nose: A real young and old supershow, with soft adolescent tones from the barley and something much more brooding from the oak. Intriguing...; Taste: Ditto the delivery: a slight molassed feel to the juicy barley but the oak is dry and firm; outstanding spices, too; Finish: Some shards of citrus and lemon drop gives a lovely contrasting sharpness to the sweet barley. Balance: Now that’s much more like it!! The last bottling I had really was all over the show. This is still slightly Bambi-ish; But there is some real meat here, too. On this showing, I am beginning to change my mind about younger Springbanks. Score: 89 Source: Jim Murray - Whisky Bible
