Springbank 1967 34 Year Old Old Malt Cask
70cl / 43.4%
This one’s been matured in a second-fill sherry cask. Colour: pure gold. Nose: not too bold at first nosing but it’s soon to become extremely interesting. Or even stunning. Furniture polish, eucalyptus and beeswax at first… And then some incredible notes of Indian curry and mustard. Amazing – I only had that once – it was a Banff. Develops on some heavy marzipan, clove… And yes, quite some peat! Really unusual. Goes on with some dried fruits (apricot, pear) before some heavy eucalyptus and camphor do return – and even some malt, yes. Really amazing, so special! Springbank 1967 34 Year Old Old Malt Cask
Mouth: very strong and quite bitter and tannic (cocoa powder). Quite peaty as well, almost like a Talisker. I’d never have said this one’s a Springbank, had I tasted it blind. Lots of resin, seaweed, pepper (certainly from the wood). Grapefruit, orange zest, ‘old’ walnut, burnt cake, dark acid coffee (Ethiopian). Grape seeds. It gets more and more peppery and bitter – but nicely bitter. Some will argue it did spend too much time in its cask, and it’s true it’s very tannic, but I’m sure that’s what made it so special. I really like it for its ‘bitter sweetness’ even if it’s sort of full of flaws. I’d say they’re ‘good’ flaws.
The finish is long, but rather bitter.
it’s heavily sherried but in a candied way rather than a dry way. Was this some kind of sugared cream sherry? Interesting but not entirely my taste, and the Springbank sharpness can’t find the right balance.
