Springbank 12 year old Calvados Wood
Review by Springbank
- Colour
Golden syrup.
- Nose
The influence of the Calvados casks is immediately apparent, with notes of green apples, citrus fruits and sweet toffee showing themselves in the beginning. Vanilla essence, pears and some gentle spice come later.
- Palate
A very lively dram at cask strength. Black pepper and rhubarb give way to demerara sugar, green grapes, a touch of cinnamon and a little bit of home-made fudge. This is an oily whisky for sure.
- Finish
Orange marmalade, gooseberries and a pleasant, dry, peatiness leave a lasting impression.
