Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Initial aromas of liquorice are followed by poached pears, chocolate, cream and marzipan. Springbank’s traditional earthy and coastal influence qualities also make an appearance.
Palate: There is no mistaking the red wine tannins from the Gaja Barolo casks, complemented by earthy and woody notes. Swedish lingonberries and rhubarb crumble give the whisky some sweetness and a touch of sea salt also comes into play.
Finish: This is like raspberry ripple ice cream but combined with peat and spices and a medium dry finish.
