About This Whisky
The 2023 edition of Springbank 18 Year Old, the older end of the distillery's core range, bottled at 46% ABV.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Smoky red fruit, dates and raisins, demerara sugar and a salty, wet-pebble note, with gentle Springbank peat underneath.
- Palate: Cranberry and blackcurrant over dark chocolate, fig jam and freshly turned earth, with a creamy, coffee-like middle.
- Finish: Long, with digestive biscuit, cocoa, a little smoke and a steady sweetness.
Serving & Food
Pour at room temperature into a tulip glass and taste it neat first; water pulls out a nuttier side, with toasted almond and hazelnut. It sits well beside Christmas cake, venison with a berry sauce, or a slab of mature Cheddar.
Good to Know
What casks? About 65% sherry, 20% bourbon and 15% rum.
What's the style? Darker and fruitier, with red fruit and dates.
