Dun Bheagan (distilled at Springbank) Cask #56 37 year, 41.5%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2006 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
There are still some casks of 1960s Springbank surfacing (even if most are from the independent bottlers). This one is a lighter, more delicate example of the genre. Exotic notes of tropical fruit, citrus, vanilla, linseed, and honey combine with a gentle, fresh brine tang and some background dried spice. The flavors are slightly muted, but this is not surprising given its age. (A Park Avenue Liquors Exclusive.)
