Springbank 18

Country: Scotland

Region: Campbeltown

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 93 Points

This single malt is a mix of 80% sherry casks and 20% bourbon casks, and that mix is reflected in the nose. Licorice, honey and dried fruits dominate the nose, but the taste reveals a good balance of fruits and nuts, especially almonds and hazelnuts. The finish lingers with a kiss of smoke and dark chocolate.
