Springbank 18 Year Old 2021 Release

Description

? Official Tasting Notes

Springbank 18 Year Old is known for its balance of the distillery’s characteristic coastal brine, light peat, and deep fruit notes:

Nose: Sweet and syrupy from the outset. Notes of honeycomb, treacle sponge, and ginger-nut fuse with a fruity, strawberry undertone. Aromas of parma violets and raisins develop over time.

Palate: Chopped hazelnuts and liquorice predominate the subtle smokiness from the peat. The maple syrup sweetness follows through, with a touch of wild berries and blackberries.

Finish: A creamy, velvety finish with a salty note. Wood shavings, burnt embers, and milk chocolate round off this malt.

The Springbank 18 Year Old 2021 Release is regarded as one of the best batches of this age statement in recent years, embodying the classic, complex Springbank style.

⭐ Overall Description

The Springbank 18 Year Old 2021 Release is often considered a fantastic middle ground, offering more depth and elegance than the 15 Year Old, while retaining the liveliness that sometimes softens out in the older 21+ year expressions. The equal split of Bourbon and Sherry casks ensures that neither cask type dominates, allowing the unique, lightly peated Springbank spirit to shine through beautifully.
