Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
Rundlets & Kilderkins is the latest release from Springbank distillery, and wow they have released a stunner. Distilled in 2001 & bottled in 2012 after maturing in Rundlet & Kilderkin barrels which are smaller 60 & 80 litres casks.
With this process the spirit has a lot more contact with the wood resutling in some very rich, complex flavours and also gives the impression of being older than it's ten years.
A must try for 2012, limited to 9,000 bottles.

Rundlets & Kilderkins Official Tasting Notes
Colour: Russet
Nose: Honey, vanilla, chocolate, nougat and toffee in abundance followed by hints of wholesome freshly ground nutmeg.
Palate: Creamy and rich as expected from the nose, with notes of chocolate covered honey comb mixed with pistachio and crushed almonds. Rich and oily from its maturation in small casks, it gives an impression of being older than it's ten years.
Finish: The ground nutmeg is still evident on the finish but the creaminess outstays the spices to a long smooth and sweet finish. With water this dram develops an even sweeter finish, fruity and sugar candy, it becomes even smoother
