Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale gold with bright straw highlights; youthful and vibrant, reflecting the young age and bourbon cask maturation
Nose
Bright, vibrant and uplifting — icing sugar, white chocolate, vanilla shortbread, pink marshmallow, popping candy, nougat. A savoury undertone of raspberry leaf tea and green tea. Dusty, peppery ashy peat smoke and lemon zest
Palate
Bold, peppery and youthful — peat smoke more dominant than older Springbank expressions. Lemon meringue pie, creamy toffee, butterscotch. Thickens with time — silky vanilla cream, oatmeal cookies, desiccated coconut, banana, mango, ripe yellow plum. Warming baking spices of cinnamon and clove, white pepper, freshly sawn oak
Finish
Long and lingering with plenty of peppery heat and spice. The peat smoke threatens to dominate but holds itself in check. Youthful energy with surprising depth for the age
