Nose: Raspberry fruit tart, dollop of gorgonzola, sea air, bandaid, swedish fish
Palate: Dry tannins, bitting, layered over a beautiful classic springbank matinime palate. Mussels. Bandaids.
Rating: 5 / 10 – nice sprngbank spirit but red wine adds little.
Nose: Longan fruit, fresh snap peas, lychee, juicy fruit gum, canned peaches, lavender.
Palate: Pea blossoms, violets. cinnamon, green tomato
Rating: 9 / 10 This is without a doubt my favorite core line cognac on the market. Delicious to dollars its a win hand down. Unless you have to pay us import tariffs… then its only absolutely delicious.
Nose: Mushrooms, chocolate, muscovado sugar, strawberry balsamic reduction, pomegranate, luxardo cherries, dr pepper rib sauce, white pepper
Palate: Star of anise, cloves, strawberry balsamic all the way
Rating: 9 / 10 – hot damn this is something special. Complex and decadent. Also important note, there is a #538 Glendronach 1995 PX 19 Year Old. How they have the same cask number with an oloroso and a px baffles me. But be careful when you shop and check the full details before assuming you just wont a favorite bottle at auction.
Nose: Star of anise, plums, oak, dried lemon peel, thick syrupy vibe
Palate: An extremely simple oak concoction. Hints of sherry fruit bouquet, but lacks complexity. If you like a gentle (death grip -> Ryan) oak hug, this works quite nicely. Lemon and grapefruit peel. Tape.
Rating: 7 (Shane) 5 (Ryan) / 10 – Shane had a tiny mouth party. Ryan was party pooped on after the first dance.
Nose: Buttered rolls, cold smoked mussels, cullen skank, kumquat marmalade. Bursts of cinnamon. Lightly gamey on the mutton side. Ryan says venison. The peat layers in lovely.
Palate: Front of palate is buttery, slightly sweet, and all bourbon cask, apricot honey, shifts into peppers and finishes with that classic Springbank DNA with nice minerality. Smoked salt. Love the peatyness.
Rating: 7 / 10 – this is delicious and nuanced and yummy
