The 10yo from one of the "cult" distilleries - if only I were drinking whisky when all that old stuff was around at far cheaper prices than it goes at at auction for these days - never mind there still is some pretty decent springer on the go just now! so lets how this one is!
Nose: Closed, musty and oily with a waxy fruity note and a faint trace of smoke.
Taste: Initially salty then a smoky oily note rushes through before giving way to heavier chocolatey notes.
Finish: Long a combination of saltiness, wood varnish and musty lemons.
Comment: I like this always have like the springers - would be interesting to try this against some of the first launched 10yo stuff as it has been rumoured that this has been getting better. Would say if anything the nose lets it down slightly.
Score: 85/100 - happy to drink this any day!
