Springbank 15 Year

About: On a peninsula that was apparently once esteemed for its whisky but now has only three distilleries: Glengyle, Glen Scotia and Springbank.

Year Sampled: 2009

Color: Light orange.

Nose: Grassy, fruity strawberry, spring lavendar, wet hillside, sherbet, maple syrup.

Palate: Malt; floats in mouth. Phenol laden.

Finish: Tip of tongue, grainy chew. Very fast decay.

Overall: Disappointing. The kind of scotch you should sniff and then dump out.
