Product Details
Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge.
Nose
Briny coastal peat wraps warm malt with citrus zest and honeyed fruit. Subtle wood spice and toasted almond emerge, while sea-salt notes linger, carried by a refined waxy oak finish.
Palate
Springbank on the palate presents a coastal, opulent profile: peat smoke mingles with salted caramel and sherry-softened fruit. Rich barley sweetness anchors coal-like minerals, while leather, cocoa and dried fig weave through savory peat. The mouthfeel is silky and expansive, with peppery spice lifting the mid-palate, finishing long with maritime warmth and a subtle oak echo.
Finish
Long, maritime finish anchored by sherry sweetness. Dried fig and dark chocolate unfold on the palate, carried by subtle peat smoke and a sea-salt breeze. Oak spice deepens, leaving a warm, refined dryness that lingers with a coastal echo long after the sip.
