Member Ratings and Notes

Andy

n: Swimming pool in flower patch (or vice versa). Very nice.
p: Velvety, mint syrup. Fields of lavendar. Subtle yet fully developed.

Dave

Obviously more floral than most Springbanks. I found more new-make type notes of lemon-grass and varnish than usual also. For a 22 year old, this seemed rather weak on the oak side. This might have been a multi-refill cask. It just didn't impart much flavor. The goodness that makes it a B+ comes from the floral complexity and this is nicely pleasant to drink. I don't recall any of the caramel or sweet peat notes though....

Fuji

N:Sweet marshmallow fruits, white grape juice, spearmint and sweet fruit flovered bubblegum
P: Sweet tangy fruit flesh. Light smoke. Green pears.
F: Long sweet fruity cinnamon smoked finish
