Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength February 2020 Release - the first release of Springbank Cask Strength for 2020.
These releases are always a treat, showing off the powerful flavour profile of Springbank's malt brilliantly.
This incredible malt has been drawn from a combination of Sherry and bourbon casks, and this latest 2020 bottle has been bottled at 55.3% ABV.
This is a rich and malty dram with notes of fresh floral notes, salted caramel shortcake and dark chocolate balanced with the classic Springbank smoke.
Springbank distillery is one of the oldest independent, family owned distillery in Scotland.
There are few Scottish distilleries that still malt their own barley, but Springbank is the only distillery which malts 100% of its own barley, using traditional floor maltings.
Limited to 1 per customer.
Nose: Fresh floral notes, white and green wine gums, wood chippings, candied ginger and black liquorice.
Palate: Initially rich & malty; spiced biscuit and salted caramel shortcake with a beautiful oily and chewy mouthfeel.Salted pretzels, Iberico ham and classic Springbank smoke follow.
Finish: The smoke continues alongside sea salt dark chocolate, freshly ground coffee and lemon sherbet.
