The other day I was selecting bottles for a whisky tasting I hosted, with all kinds of different styles. The tasting included anCnoc , GlenDronach , Lagavulin, Elijah Craig and a really old Glen Grant 1972 , but I also felt the Springbank style was a must-have.

Springbank 10 yo (46%, OB 2015, 15/103)

Nose: still the mineral classic indeed. Earthy / rooty notes, hints of chalk and a certain ‘green’ fruitiness, some lemon...
