Springbank 13 Year Old Local Barley, 2024 Release
The Tasting Notes
On the nose, this whisky is packed full of fruitiness, ripened bananas, boiled sweets and cinnamon.
Initially, the thick, chewy and oily texture of this whisky is evident. From there, we get a peppery and malty note, then strawberries, brandy schnapps and parma violets.
Into the finish there’s subtle peat smoke hiding in the background, wine gum sweetness, toasted oats, dunnage earthiness and a slight drying taste.
