Single Malt
Scotland
1 Oct 1996
1 Nov 2013
Distilled at the Springbank distillery in October 1996, this single malt Scotch whisky matured for 17 years in a sherry butt, waiting for Hunter Laing to come along and bottle it up. Well, in November 2013, it got its wish and was bottled for the Old & Rare Platinum range with an outturn of 270 bottles.
Beautiful honey amareto color. Nose: Raw high powered alcohol fumes off the initial cask strength pour. Pallette: Birch wood smell with mild clover honey. Finish: Butterscotch, ash, nutty, barley After a drop of water was added, cardboard like smell. Overall it was unique but not for me.
