Springbank 18yo 2018
Instantly recognizable from its mauve packaging, the 18-year-old Springbank single malt is a new exploration of flavour rich with spices and smoky fruit notes owing to the use of ex bourbon casks during the maturation period. Expect coastal notes and a sweet, chocolate and toffee finish.
