Producer’s Tasting Notes
Springbank 10yo
NOSE: Orchard fruit (pear) with a hint of peat, vanilla and malt.
PALATE: Malt, oak, spice, nutmeg and cinnamon, vanilla essence.
FINISH: Sweet, with a lingering salty tingle
Hazelburn 10yo
NOSE: Incredibly rich, the influence of the sherry cask is immediately apparent. Sweet, with hints of chocolate – there are also notes of apricot, orange marmalade, almonds and marzipan.
PALATE: Malty, fruity and elegant. A well-balanced dram with hints of oak, figs and nuts.
FINISH: A long, lingering fruity sweetness.
Longrow Peated
NOSE: Very creamy, vanilla custard. The smoke develops and toasted marshmallows, herbs and rich fruits appear over time.
PALATE: Incredibly well balanced – rich and creamy with a slight medicinal hint. The smoke is always present and washes over the palate in waves.
FINISH: The gentle smoke lingers and lingers.
