Springbank 2001/2011 9 year Demerara Rum Cask 57.1% for Cadenheads

Nose: Charcoal filters, pool water, condensed milk or werthers original, dandelion, blue corn, bird of paradise flowers (had them in my yard growing up), quite peated

Palate: Rubber bands, resin / pine and garden herbs, dried coconut flakes that have gone slightly stale.

Rating: 4 / 10 – For all the love that Springbank gets, it’s got no shortage of misses. They are hard enough to get these days that people don’t open the bottle or they over appreciate the liquid just do to the effort involved. This is no winner.
