Springbank 18 years old - b. 2026 - 70cl

ose: a rather medicinal edition (on its own, but especially after the 30 Years), albeit a little shy. Salty marine air, with a wisp of peat smoke, marmalade, bandages and leather. The typical industrial side is subdued: damp leaves, a few drops of motor oil. Then wet chalk, hints of almond oil, nutmeg and old metal tools. The sherry took away some of the fruitier notes but didn’t add much, making it a little undecided somehow. Mouth: oily but still a little thin. Salted dough, white pepper, more maritime notes and more wet chalk. A flash of orchard fruit appears mid-palate (borderline tropical, nice), along with candied lemons, leather and ashy smoke. Then hints of baking spice and back to metal tools and a vague dustiness. Finish: not too long, black pepper and ashes but if fades too soon.

Estimation:€220
