Springbank 14 year old Amontillado Cask (#305), 55.4%
Price: $100.00 ● Issue: Fall 2011 ● Reviewer: John Hansell
A round of single cask Springers matured completely (not finished) in various wine casks for the U.S. market. All four are solid efforts — it's really a matter of personal preference. A general comment: most of the single cask releases are matured in some sort of wine or rum cask. While this is nice, I would love to see several single cask, cask strength, and fully-matured ex-bourbon barrel bottlings offered for a change.
Citrus, exotic wood, and botanicals on the nose and palate. Indeed, there's a bit of intrigue here. Nice balance, with roasted nuts, pecan pie, and more exotic wood on the finish.
