About This Whisky
The 2020 release of Springbank 18 Year Old, bottled at 46% ABV from a near-even mix of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks.
Springbank changes the cask recipe for the 18 each year.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Sherry first: dates, raisins and brown sugar, followed by blueberry, fig jam and a lemony cake note.
- Palate: A creamy texture carrying coffee and tiramisu, crushed strawberry, marzipan, cinnamon and rich fruit cake.
- Finish: Juicy and sweet to the end, with golden syrup and buttery shortbread.
Serving & Food
Serve it unchilled in a nosing glass; it is gentle enough at 46% to drink without water. Tiramisu, a pear and almond tart, or aged Parmesan with a little honey pick up its sweeter side.
Good to Know
How strong is it? 46%, no chill filtration or added colour.
What's the style? Dates and fruit cake with a creamy side.
