Tasting Notes
Springbank 25 Year Old | 2019 Release - Producer Notes
Nose: Initially parma violets and rhubarb. Barbecued meats and sugar cane molasses follow alongside tropical fruits and oloroso sherry notes.
Palate: Maturity and complexity at its best. A perfect balance of sherry and rum casks married in harmony. As it breathes; cured meat notes with a presence of tropical fruits and muscat wine.
Finish: Oh yes, it's definitely a true Springbank with coastal and earthy/musty dunnage warehouse notes, with sugary molasses in the finish.
