This is a favorite go-to malt in the cabinet.  I often finish my Islay tastes with this because the peatiness of the Springbank is removed by the strong peat of the Islays and what's left is the great caramels and warm chocolate whipped creams that make it such a great finishing malt.

This makes for a unique malt as most Islanders are (I still think Cambeltown should be a part of the Islands category).  The nose can be peaty or straight caramel and warmth depending on what you had prior.  Springbanks are best tasted with other Springbanks if you want the full experience.

A great solid whisky for the price.

nose: orange and lemon

palate:  thin and watery.  A bit of undefined pepperyness says maybe honey and lemon.  A bit 2 dimensional.  Ok for a starter scotch I suppose, but nothing fantastic.  Finish is brief

n: White smoke, dry leather, cream cheese frosting, and "copper penny" nose. Nice bit of maltiness and sea air with a unique "Springer" peat-smoke.

t: Lemon wax, burnt butterscotch and leather. Smokey grey sea salt and dose of youthful sweetnesss in the middle. It has a unique profile that I really enjoy. Copper pennies smoked in wheat field fire. Every bar should have this.

B-/B.
