Springbank 10 Year Old Single Malt. Campbeltown, Scotland. ABV: 46.00%. Tasted at Whisky a Day HQ, $73.60.
Colour: Gold, like a flat glass of lager
Nose: Hard to pick this nose…(upon posting this one I’ve just realised that I’ve made the same very lame nose joke. Two days in a row. Note to self: get some new material).
Palate: Woody, slightly vinegary tastes. Fair bit of spice
Finish: Long warmth lingers around your mouth, makes your lips & tip of your tongue tingle.
Comments: I’m a couple of days behind schedule, need to get back on track. This is my first tasting this year of a whisky from Campbeltown. Thankfully we’re talking Scotland and not Western Sydney. Reminds me of an old joke…what do Campbelltown girls use for protection? A bus shelter. Not sure quite what this has to do with the Springbank, but hey.
Overall it’s only ok, the Springbank 10 is not the smoothest Springbank I’ve had, which was a Hazelburn Sauternes cask finished malt – which in turn wasn’t as smooth or tasty as other Sauternes finished whiskies (e.g. Glelmorangie Nectar D’Or or Longmorn 16).
