Springbank 15 Year Old

This whisky is all about spice and ginger notes. On the nose it is ginger biscuits and pear drops (acetone) althogh when it's been in the glass a while the pear drop note fades. On the palate their is gingerbread men, a hint of the apple strudel I picked up in the 12 year old and then the peat kicks in and you feel it in the back of your throat. Then as it fades you get a salty note and tanins. I'm generally not that keen on sherried whiskies because in my experience they are often just sherry and little else and I think if I wanted to taste that much sherry I'd just drink, you know. Sherry. But this does sherry in a goodway where it's just a part of the flavour profile and not the whole shebang.

Wonderful stuff.
