Official bottling
Single malt - Tasmania
Amber gold
46% ABV
Dram
Nose: Cream, malted grains, butterscotch, honey, vanilla, white pepper, white grapes, hints of butterscotch.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, tingly, loosens, astringent.
Tasting: Sour sweet. Malted grains, cream, lemon zest, barley sugar, white pepper, fresh baked bread, toffee, hints of oats.
Finish: Short. Malted grains, white pepper, toffee, barley sugar, oats.
Comments:
Not Springbank, in fact quite literally the other side of the world. Sweet and honeyed, lots of barley, without the muscular industrial flavours of its close-namesake. Interesting and promising.
Verdict:
I like this.
