Springbank 10 years old Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Nov,15 in Tasting , Springbank

“Rather good with a good amount of peat and honey and that floral theme playing along all the way.”

Blended from a mixture of Bourbon and sherry casks, the light colour of this malt belies the richness of its character. The nose has a wide range of aromas, from citrus fruits to pears and a hint of peat, while the palate shows touches of smoke, vanilla essence, nutmeg, cinnamon and the salty tang characteristic of the distillery.

This dram has a gold-like color.

Nose (90): strong. peat, honey, citrus, floral.

Palate (90): smooth, oily, powerful. peat, floral, honey, malt, citrus.

Finish (90): long. peat, wood, floral.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Springbank 10 year with 90 points over 100.
