Springbank Edinburgh International Festival 2008 Whisky

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, mahogany-inflected glow.

Nose

Notes of peat smoke and briny sea air rise first, mingling with warm sherry and caramel. Dried fig and raisin sweetness weave with almond and cocoa nibs, while vanilla and toasted oak lend a gentle, lingering spice.

Palate

Peat smoke threads through a creamy, coastal palate, with briny sea-salt and citrus zest brightening the surface. Sherry cask influence brings dark fruit—fig, cherry, raisin—balanced by cocoa, vanilla and spice. A Springbank signature medicinal note lingers, while oak adds structure, finishing long with smoke and maritime hints.

Finish

Coastal peat and sea-salt perfume the finish, with a gentle sherry-soft sweetness in the background. Smoke lingers alongside dried fruit, cocoa and toasted oak, finishing in a refined, briny warmth that persists long after the sip.
