Springbank Edinburgh International Festival 2011 Whisky

Colour

Golden amber with warm copper highlights, a sun-kissed, honey-toned glow.

Nose

Coastal smoke and sea-salt ride a wave of ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest, and a sly peat ember. Sherry-cask richness layers fig, raisin, almond, and cocoa, while vanilla caramel threads through with a polished sweetness. A mineral, maritime lift lingers, inviting exploration of Campbeltown's shore.

Palate

Soft, smoky peat threads through a sherried silhouette; tangy dried fruit, orange zest and dark chocolate mingle with roasted almond and a whisper of maritime salt. Medium-bodied and velvety, it glides with warm spice, yielding a long, refined finish that lingers with oak and subtle sweetness.

Finish

Long, coastal and gently peated, the finish unfurls with smoke married to soft sherry sweetness. Saline marine notes cling to dark fruit and cocoa as vanilla and oak emerge, then fade to a warm, cocoa-rich closure, leaving a lingering, smoky whisper on the palate.
