The Whisky Exchange Art of Whisky Springbank 24 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

An indie bottling that should grab the attention of Springbank devotees! 24 years old and bottled at cask strength. Great review from Serge Valentin below. One only.

Other reviews... I’ve tried this one with Chris at the company’s headquarters earlier in September, but they said they would cut my moustache, should I say anything about it. This is a tough life. Colour: pale gold. Nose: much less peat smoke in this one, this is well Springbank (and not… just checking if you’re following me… that’s right, Longrow). But it is brilliant, mineral, greasy, diesely, waxy, engine-y (what?), there are broken branches and cut grass, some mud, some new electronics (as when we were unpacking our new Akais or Pioneers, remember?) and some chalk. Chalk, obviously. With water: gets more coastal, and rather rounder. A little rounder. Mouth (neat): I would admit I find it a little Longrowy as well, but are they really properly cleaning their pipes between each run? Can’t you find some Longrow in Springbank? Brine, lemon juice, these very typical ‘twisted’ flavours (between rotting turnips and sulphur), clay, tobacco from an untipped Gauloise, smoked fish… (drunken kipper, as a friend in the industry once said, although he may have actually meant drunken keeper, which would have made more sense)… With water: careful with water, there is a breaking point where it would get a little too fruity, quite oddly. Finish: rather long, waxy, mineral… all that. Comments: just brilliant, it’s just that the Belgian Longr… eerr, bank was just out of this world. Totally. 51.7% Alc./Vol.
