Springbank 10yr 700ml

The nose is all citrus and pear, but the real star is that salty, coastal tang that lingers after the smoke fades. Poured it neat last night and the nutmeg and cinnamon made it dangerously easy to sip on a cold evening.

That initial whiff of peat and salty sea air gives way to a beautifully balanced sip of vanilla and cinnamon. I’m really impressed by how the smoke lingers without overpowering the sweeter notes. It’s a truly satisfying dram that feels worth every penny.

The citrus and pear aromas hit first, then the salty tang and gentle smoke come through beautifully on the palate. A surprisingly balanced pour that evolves with every sip.
