Springbank / 12 Year Old Cask Strength / 2016 Release

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Campbeltown.
Unit: 70cl
Age: 12 Year Old.
ABV: 54.1%
Bottling Year: 2016
The following notes are our own from a pre release tasting. This is a fantastic dram to enjoy after dinner, add a drop of water to pull the whole range of flavours if you can't wait for it to open in the glass for 20 mins (Who would want to wait that long).
Nose: Ahh there it is sweet orange chocolate and red berries with a rather stunning sweet aromatic smoke.
Palate: Nice mouth coating full of flavour. Could this be an alternative to my personal favourite 15 year old? Yes it could! The smoke is subtle to start with hints of dark fruit and that coca note from the nose. Lingering fruity notes with a nice play of peat smoke but not overdone. The sherry casks have delivered some amazing flavours with the almost tropical soft fruits from the Bourbon casks adding a little soft spice to the mix.
Finish: A long rich finish just as expected from the nose and the middle palate. Some orange marmalade on fresh baked wholemeal bread with hints of coconut and spice that lift the ending just that little longer than expected.
