Color Deep copper
Nose
Sweet dried fruits, burlap and touches of lemon. Somewhat briny and plenty of minerality. After about ten minutes it becomes darker and earthier. Very farmy too. Just really great!
Taste
The peat now a bit more noticeable. Lovely oily mouthfeel, with a sugary sweetness, but also charred lemon peel, cigar ash and peaches. Oh, don't forget cloves and cracked black pepper. Don't forget the bitter oranges.
Finish
Soft peat and lingering spices, with a hint of oranges.
Comments
Just great, great whisky. As always, the CS-series from Springbank offers great quality for a great price.
