Springbank 21 Year Old has become something of a legend among whisky lovers and with good reason. It’s a spectacular dram that offers unbelievable complexity.
I think we can we can all agree that Springbank 21 Year Old is a grand whisky. An instant classic, so to speak. However, there are quite a few 21 years old single casks out there and this is one of those, bottled in 2016. It’s a young sherry cask for Symposium House of Taste, a whisky club in Malmö, Sweden.
Waxy nose! Stone fruit, a truckload of hay, toffee, overripe banana, sand and pebbles. Not necessarily in that order, but that is the nose of this malt in a nutshell. Actually it’s the best of two worlds: the typical, wonderful spirit of Springbank decorated with some dark and sweet notes of the oloroso cask. This smells absolutely delicious. This entertains me for at least fifteen minutes before I have the urge to take my first sip.

Tasting Note springbank 21 year old single cask
Nose: There is a lot going on here; heather, plums and peach, quite dry but with hints of honey. There’s a slight waxy note too with a little bit of leather.
Palate: Very soft, with caramelized fruit and raisins and cassis. The spices include cinnamon and vanilla and there’s some oaky dryness to balance the honey. A subtle wood smoke and a hint of the sea.
Finish: Very long with hints of aniseed and raisin sweetness.
Overall: Wow. there’s so much to take in… this is a whisky worth spending serious time with.
