House Review

Intro:
"Released in September 2017, this is a 14 year old single malt from the Springbank distillery in Campbeltown. It was aged in casks that previously held bourbon, which has imparted generous notes of general-vanilla-tastiness to the whisky. A release of 9,000 bottles..." - Master of Malt
-
Nose:
Honey, dough, vanilla. Faint meatiness, floral apples, pears and toasted almonds.
-
Taste:
Medium mouth feel, no real heat. Lots of allspice, honey, vanilla, caramel and faint fruitiness. Nice smoke presence, some oak and some pepper.
-
Finish:
Long, rich sweetness blends really well with a growing smokiness. No real heat.
-
Overall:
Really nice integration of base spirit, bourbon character and smoke.
