Springbank 10 Year Old

Springbank is one of the great distillers. A family owned business produces every part of its whisky from barley to bottle in good, old fashioned, no chill-filtration, no caramel and always (im pretty sure) at least 46% alcohol. Great too see.

Colour: Typical resonant amber

• Nose: smoke, malt, ginger, some maritime with light sherry and toffee

• Pallet: fairly viscous, toffee, spicy, slightly woody with salt and gentle peat, a generally savoury malt

• Finish: fairly flat (touch disappointing), light spices and nuttiness

• Mark: 8/10

Goes away a bit too quickly and quietly for the fairly viscous and measured arrival on the pallet. But as the title says; Always worth a dram
