Springbank, 18 Year Old

'A rusty copper colour, our 18-year-old is full of authority and is truly a classic, full-bodied dram. With a delicious nose, this whisky will tempt you in and hold your attention as you uncover its unique palate and finish.

On the nose, rich and creamy, developing into vanilla, ripe fruits, marzipan followed by hints of sherbet, almonds and strawberries. On the palate, thick and oily, fruity and mellow; gives way to a sweet liquorice and aniseed flavour as it opens up. Finishing sweet and chocolatey with some coconut, the finish is long and consistent with a pleasant smokey tingle.' (Springbankwhisky.com)
