Buy this one - open it and be happy Springbank aged 10 years Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky Original bottling from 29. June 2016 Distilled ca in 2006 46% 70cl a very very rare and delicious bottling - This bottle is one of the final releases to feature the old, solid black box. The open-style orange-and-black box was introduced that same month. To effectively promote the new packaging on social media, truly magnificent casks were selected—casks of a caliber never matched before or since. See whiskyfun.com = 92 points. Here are the tasting notes of Serge Valentin : ( Thank you Serge ) Springbank 10 yo (46%, OB, 2016) Five stars Not everyone agrees with the new livery, but to me it shouts ‘we don’t care about the outside, it’s what’s inside the bottle that counts’. Something only self-confident brands can do, while I believe there aren’t that many of them in whiskydom. But onto this wee tenner, while keeping in mind that I had just adored its predecessor last year (WF 91). Colour: gold. Nose: no, really, it’s becoming boring. Such a perfect dry, almost top-manzanilla-like profile, with everything sooty, inky, tarry, mineral, saline… Even its fermentary side is a hit, when that can be totally disastrous elsewhere. And look, plasticine, that can be seen as a flaw elsewhere, but not here, because of the way it mingles with the other aromas. Boring boring Springbank… Mouth: I’m very upset now. I was hoping for some tiny flaws, something shaky, something that would keep the conversation going, something controversial… But this palate is disappointingly immaculate, deplorably perfect, and lamentably satisfying. Tarry lemon juice, waxy minerals, and sooty herbs. You know, I’m feeling I’m about to lose my temper… Finish: I’ve just decided to go on strike. After all, Alsatians are also French. Comments: I said no. SGP:452 – 92 points (but that’s my very last warning). You now buy this bottle from Kupsch-Whisky in Duisburg Germany established on 02.
