Title:
Springbank “Aged 10Yrs”
Description:
Non-Chill Filtered | Natural Color
Style: Single Malt (Scotch)
Region: Campbeltown, Scotland
Distiller: Springbank
Mash Bill: 100% Malted Barley
Cask: ex-Bourbon (60%), ex-Sherry (40%)
Age: 10 Years
ABV: 46%
Nose:
The nose offers up plenty of oak, exotic spices, guava, heather honey and soft smoke.
Palate:
A full, sweet, creamy palate with hints of smoke, marzipan and cigar boxes.
Finish:
A smoky finish, trailing off on sweet cider and toasty barley.
EYE:
Golden
NOSE:
Dried orchard fruit, sultanas, banana chips, graham and some touches of honey, spice and olde candy sweetness. Soft, easy, pleasant, there’s nothing to be mad at here.
PALATE:
Dried orchard fruit, malty graham, banana chips, baking spice, honey and bits of olde candy and smoke. Smoke isn’t quite right, more like overly roasted nuts, like almost burnt, but just shy of it.
FINISH:
Medium -> Dried orchard fruit, malt, and over-roasted nuts (smokyish) fade out to sweetness and baking spice.
BALANCE, BODY and FEEL:
Well balanced, medium body and a light easy feel.
It’s light, it’s kind of simple, but it’s not spineless or weak. It’s an easy sipping, easy mixing, perfect intro to Springbank. And, having drank more than my fair share of Springbank, I can say it’s all uphill from here on the OB releases. Sometimes they play around with weird barrels, like that Longrow Tokaji barrel release – woof that was bad.
But for the vast majority of releases, anything directly from them is at least as good as this if not significantly better than this Springbank 10 Years. And, to a large extent, that even goes for indie bottles, which are getting rarer and rarer due to that relatively high baseline of quality that’s generated such a rabid following… it’s also why a bottle doesn’t last long on my shelf.
SCORE: 3/5 (above average, worth checking out ~ B- | 80-82)
