New vintage Springbank
Just in the door is the brand new release from Springbank - a vintage 1997.Stuart Robertson and Frank McHardy have combined their many years of whisky making experience, and their noses, to selected the casks for the first release of the new Springbank Vintage.
Batch 1 has been exclusively matured in Re-charred Sherry Butts for 10 years and is limited to 11000 bottles.
A glass brimful of aroma, briny and slightly musty - that reminds me of the 1919 - and an oily lemon note.
On the tongue, even neat it is soft and easy drinking, well balanced with a long finish, well done Frank!
An ace, long time since we've had one of them.
