SPRINGBANK
Longrow 18y/o 46% (sherrywood)
Nose: This whisky has an incredibly sweet nose with some savory notes peeking through. Marshmallows in abundance - the vanilla variety, with icing sugar and foam bananas adding to the sweetness. Upon further nosing the fruit makes an appearance, brambles,mandarines and over ripe damson fruits. Some savorynotes pushing through such as linseed oil - do we smell cricket bats?
Palate: This dram coats your palate in a waxy fashion with its continuing sweet flavours as described on the nose. But there is also the familiar, well balanced trace of smoke which makes this a brilliantly complex wee
dram that will make you feel right at home no matter where you are.
Finish: The creaminess of this whisky means it doesnʼt go away - you feel the warmth of this Longrow all the way down to your boots, creamy, sweet with a gentle smoke finish.

Allt-A-Bhainne 18yo, 54.7%
Nose: Light, buttery and sweet aromas. Reminiscent of Highland Toffee.

Balmenach-Glenlivet 22yo 51.4%
Nose: Notes of soft oak are followed by lighter citrus fruits and lemon sherbet.

Teaninich 17yo 53.8%
