Feis Ile is knocking on our doors but let’s say one last goodbye to Springbank appreciation week and Campbeltown festival with the review of the 18 Year old duo from Springbank: the unpeated Springbank 18 and the peated Longrow 18.

Springbank 18 Year old (46%,  €111.66 )

Nose : sherry impact of berries, a bit dry, sweet honeyed vanilla and caramel, raisins, fruity. Rich and oily and just classic.

Palate : Oh, lots of spices, aniseed and lots of sherry spices, raisins and red fruits, quite dry.

Finish : Long, dried fruits, salt, bit of oak and chocolate, sweet yet dry.
