Words of Whisky (90)

A home run by Springbank, I feel the fact that these Malbec casks are actually refills is key to the wonderful balance.
Nose
Lots of minerals and gentle earthy peat smoke, accompanied by bung cloth, blackberries en strawberries. This noses way beyond its years. Lots of tobacco, smoked wood chips and gentle notes of milk chocolate. A touch of rhubarb and cinnamon too.
Taste
Fantastic oily mouthfeel with some lovely citrus (grapefruit) and tropical notes, as as well as jammy red fruits. Of course, there's smoke and a bit of ash. It wouldn't have been Longrow otherwise, but it is in perfect balance with all other elements. Lovely salinity and a pinch of pepper too.
Finish
Somewhat drying, but a nice minerality, as well as wood smoke. Lingering orange peel.
