*Springbank 18: A rusty copper colour, our 18-year-old is full of authority and is truly a classic, full-bodied dram. With a delicious nose, this whisky will tempt you in and hold your attention as you uncover its unique palate and finish.

Nose:
Rich and creamy, developing into vanilla, ripe fruits, marzipan followed by hints of sherbet, almonds and strawberries.

Palate:
Thick and oily, fruity and mellow; gives way to a sweet liquorice and aniseed flavour as it opens up.

Finish:
Sweet and chocolatey with some coconut, the finish is long and consistent with a pleasant smokey tingle.
