Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, sunlit amber with copper-gold sheen and a warm honey glow.
Nose
A luxurious, layered nose of nougat and coffee fondant, with toasted coconut, milky fudge and banana. Roasted pineapple, creme brulee tops, a subtle coastal salt, singed barley smoke, sappy vanilla oak and earthy-boggy undertones.
Palate
Elegant, driven by the rum cask: pineapple shards, rum‑and‑raisin fudge, and caramelized Demerara sugar mingle with banana chips and toasted coconut. Salted cashews, lime zest, and faint chocolate toast through Springbank’s earthy brine, yielding a poised, subtly peated sweetness with a coastal, lingering finish.
Finish
Salted vanilla fudge, banana chips, rum-soaked raisins, toasted coffee grounds and a milky ginger latte linger, with coastal brine threads weaving through a softly spiced, long finish.
