Springbank – Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
The second tasting from That Boutique-y Whisky Company’s range is the Springbank – Batch 1 from Master Of Malt. I’m glad it says Batch 1 as I’d hate to think this was the last we would see of such a tasty malt!
This one contains the highly sought after Springbank malt whisky. A rare single malt from the Kintyre Peninsula which offers smoke, spice and a hint of sea salt. Matured in bourbon and sherry casks its light colour belies the richness of its character.
As usual, the label offers us a glimpse of the quirky side of whisky life featuring Caskstrength.net’s Neil and Joel operating Springbank’s old Porteus Mill.
Tasting Notes
Springbank – Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) |
Nose: Touch of smokey wood mixed with sweet aromas.
Palate: Only mildy oily, very, very spicy, almost spikey! Sweet, like sugar crystals dissolving on the tongue. Finish: Fiery peppery rush tempered with sultana sweetness. Overall: The taste of this just goes on and on (until you take the next sip!) It is punchy, warming and very moreish! |
Many thanks to Master Of Malt for this sample.
