Whisky 2026 – 1

Ok, it’s been a while hasn’t it. Will try to be good and get my tasting notes up! I promise!!

Springbank Local Barley 13 years 54.1%

Loads of cream, orchard fruit and tobacco box initially on the nose. Citrus, tiramisu and shaving cream. Rose petals and an old fire place. Smells like proper Springbank. 

Fireplace, minerality, a painter’s palette. Toasted malt. It’s a bit thinner than I hoped but peaches and apples and a bit of baking spice. 

Cream, river rocks, passion fruit vines and almond butter. Some grape fruit zest, coffee grounds and chalkiness. 

4.5/5 Stars
