Springbank ODD - Original Distinct Defiant Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a warm mahogany core and copper-gold highlights.

Nose

Coastal peat and iodine rise on sea-air, entwined with fudgy sherry sweetness, toasted oak and a touch of burnt sugar. Fresh citrus zest threads through malty depth, while a subtle medicinal lift lingers.

Palate

Full-bodied and oily, this Springbank wields peat and coastal brine with confident poise, cloaked in sherry depth. Dried fig and raisin weave through dark chocolate and orange zest, while peppery spice and vanilla lift the palate. Rich oak lingers with a warming burst, culminating in a long finish of smoke, salt, and toasted almond.

Finish

Long, warming finish with coastal peat and a whisper of brine giving way to sherry-soaked dark fruit, cocoa and toasted oak. Spice threads of cinnamon and pepper linger, while a resinous oak glow persists, leaving a refined, smoky aftertaste that tapers to warm embers.
