Malt Tasting: Springbank 19 Year Old Cask 129 – Single Cask (Master of Malt)

Springbank 19 Year Old Cask 129 – Single Cask (Master of Malt)

What were you doing on 7th May 1993?

Or for that matter 27th November 2012?

Well, the Springbank guys were distilling cask 129 on the former date and filling 221 bottles of the glorious stuff on the latter date.

So, as I sit here on this very windy and rainy night sampling this malt I was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed.

I needn’t have worried, I can’t think of a better way to see a stormy night thru!

It’s part of Master of Malt’s own Single Cask range and offers exceptional malts at very acceptable prices.

Tasting Notes

Springbank 19 Year Old
Single Cask 129
(Master of Malt)

Nose: Lovely pungent Bracken and wood coupled with a sweet aroma.

Palate: Bit of oil on the tongue, syrupy sultanas and peppery spice.

Finish: Sweet treacle, smoke with a fiery pepperyness and a slight hint of tanin dryness.

Overall: A formidable malt. Strong, tasty and full of complex flavours.

70cl, 57.80%

£72.95

Many thanks to Master Of Malt for this sample.
