A rich and sweet Springbank. Springbank SPRINGBANK 1995-2016 20yo OB #15/286-11 51% One of 216 bottles, Fresh Port Cask The aroma is sweet and heavy, with rich plum jam, bitter chocolate, herb liqueur, a touch of black sugar candy, and deep malt notes. On the palate, it starts with a smooth mouthfeel expanding into a rich, sweet flavor of prunes and raisins, tightened by grape skin tannins, moderate woodiness, and a strong, long finish. [Good/Very Good] This is an official single cask Springbank from the 1995 vintage, matured entirely in Port casks rather than being finished in them. It is extremely full-bodied, with a rich sweetness reminiscent of jams and dried fruits. The potential for the sweetness to become cloying is balanced by the astringency of grape skins and woodiness, preventing it from becoming flat or one-dimensional. A new release Springbank offering a sweet and aromatic experience to savor.
