ABV
57.1%

The most interesting cask composition that I have seen from a Springbank, I typically don’t try to get bottles like these (young age, 200x or later) as I find them vastly overpriced and with mixed reviews but I was happy to try a dram of this as recommended by Vincent at House Welley who picked this bottle.

Body

Strawberries, smells pretty fresh for a Springbank, hints of minerality, runs a bit too hot & spicy for me towards the end & in the finish
