Springbank Single Cask #56 Whisky 18 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep, burnished amber with copper-bronze undertones.

Nose

Sherry-draped fruit notes of raisin and fig mingle with coastal peat and briny sea air. Roasted almond, dark chocolate and vanilla drift over warm oak, with a whisper of iodine and salt that lingers, hinting at Springbank’s maritime, old-world complexity.

Palate

Rich and waxy on the palate, with coastal peat and a subtle medicinal edge. Sherry-cask notes bring dark fruit, fig and raisin, toasted almond and cocoa, framed by briny sea-salt and spice. A warming, long finish with pronounced oak.

Finish

Long and refined, this finish unfolds with sherry-soaked warmth. Raisin, fig and dark cocoa mingle over roasted walnut, cloaked by caramelized oak and a thread of spice. Subtle peat and coastal smoke ebb slowly, leaving a resonant, lingering warmth that calls for another contemplative sip.
