An exquisite and intoxicating flavor experience. Springbank SPRINGBANK 1972-1995 22 Year Old Official Bottling 46% ABV The aroma is extremely floral, with citrus notes, white flowers, a light yet profound maltiness, slightly aged hay, and a subtle peatiness that underpins the entire profile. Upon drinking, it begins with a smooth mouthfeel, expanding into freeze-dried strawberries, citrus, and floral notes. It has a concentrated, velvety texture with refined sweetness that clings to the tongue, leaving a briny and sophisticated finish. Intoxicating in its complexity. 【Very Good】 This is the official bottling of Springbank 1972, aged for 22 years. The aroma is predominantly citrus with a vibrant floral character, and upon tasting, the distinct flavor of freeze-dried strawberries becomes clearly evident. The texture is surprisingly viscous, wrapping around the tongue and gradually seeping into the palate. The characteristic brininess of the distillery's house style is well-presented, leaving a refined and intoxicating finish that lingers in the mind. A rare malt that balances refreshing crispness with a sense of concentration and viscosity.
