gives way to a sweet liquorice and aniseed flavor as it opens up. Hints of liquorice and aniseed.
Finish: Sweet and chocolatey with some coconut, the finish is long and consistent with a pleasant smokey
tingle
SPRINGBANK CV
Springbank CV is the product of a variety of different cask types and sizes, all specially selected by Director of Production Frank
McHardy and Distillery Manager Stuart Robertson. Frank and Stuartʼs years of experience allowed them to choose a range of
casks, every one complementing the other to ensure a great whisky with lots of flavour and the classic Springbank Style.
Palate: Subtle sherry notes come through
along with a depth of oak and spice. These then evolve into notes reminiscent of our traditional Dunnage warehouses.
Finish: The flavours remaining are mainly coming from the sherry casks, although right at the end a hint of port tannins can be detected, perhaps suggesting the pedigree of casks used for the Springbank CV.
CADENHEADS will be releasing there new bottlings in early March 2010
