Springbank 1975 28 Year Old Chieftain’s

  • Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky
  • Ian Macleod

70cl / 50.5%

Colour: gold.

Nose: much more spirity, and it’s not just the alcohol, and starting more on mineral, stony notes mixed with lemon skin. A rather unusual austerity here. Something slightly smoky… It does sort of take off after a while, getting rather farmy but also hugely herbal. Hints of asparagus, apple skins… We do have a little fruit then (hints of passion fruits and oranges) but the whole seems to lack a little ‘extroversion’. Maybe a little water will work, let’s see… Well, no, that doesn’t really work. Maybe a little more citrus fruits but that’s all. Strange Springbank 1975 28 Year Old Chieftain’s.

Mouth (neat): it’s much more like it now, with a general profile that’s quite close to the Celtic Cross’. Quite some fruit (bitter oranges, green bananas, kumquats)… More and more bananas… Oh yes, it’s the revolution. It does get almost extravagant (on all sorts of fresh fruits and nuts) and also quite spicy, with an added layer of complexity brought by lots of herbal/phenolic notes (chlorophyll, mint, eucalyptus sweets) and again lots of wax.

The finish is long, enveloping, waxy and citrusy… Whew! In short, a very, very nice palate but the nose was strangely silent. Springbank 1975 28 Year Old Chieftain’s

Further, The Bowery Poetry Club is hosting a Single Malt Scotch Holiday Poetry Slam, at 5pm on Sunday, Dec. 10, 2006, 308, Bowery at Houston. $20 includes 6 single malts! ($15.00 in advance at virtuous.com).

Also, This fourth annual event features 6 poets reading descriptions of six single malts as the audience samples the whiskeys. The audience votes on the poets and single malts. Door prizes include the Highlands Tweeds Coastal Single Malt Sport Jacket by Orvis and a one-night stay at the luxurious Equinox Hotel in Vermont.
Is there anything that says, “The holidays are here,” more than a bunch of poets sipping whisky? Doesn’t poetry sound better when you are knocking back a stiff one?
