Springbank Scottish Folklore Series 6th Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old · 2000 Vintage
In stock
This Whisky has spent all of its 21 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead. The triple distillation renders the Whisky lighter and softer than its double distilled cousin, and the absence of peat allows the subtler flavours to sing more clearly.
A very fresh and sweet start, with the aromas of late summer. Juicy nashi pear wafts in alongside freshly peeled and slightly green banana. Then sweetness becomes more refined and nutty – a pistachio cannoli paired with a sweet white wine.
The flavour almost starts in the same way as a full bodied pinot grigio, but also incorporates the taste of fresh sugarcane juice cut with a twist of lime.
Then the flavour progresses to light almond-flour cake soused in mandarin orange syrup. The sweet flavours retreat quickly, leaving notes of egg custard rolls and lemon blossom. A quick ambush of intensity, followed by a long winding down of gentle sweetness.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale straw-gold with a warm honey glow and a whisper of amber at the rim, radiant in the glass.
Nose
Fresh and sweet on the nose, a late-summer brightness with juicy nashi pear and freshly peeled, slightly green banana. The sweetness broadens into refined, nutty tones—pistachio cannoli paired with a whisper of sweet white wine.
Palate
A light, soft opening of bright sweetness greets with nashi pear and green banana, then reveals refined, nutty pistachio cannoli and a kiss of sweet white wine. Pinot Grigio-like freshness carries sugarcane and lime, while almond-flour cake with mandarin syrup arrives, retreating to egg custard rolls and lemon blossom, finishing with a long, gentle sweetness and a hint of quiet intensity.
Finish
A brief, bright ambush of intensity opens the finish, then it unwinds into a long, graceful fade. Lemon blossom and egg custard rolls linger, with soft almond-flour cake and mandarin-orange syrup fading to a delicate, nut-kissed sweetness.
