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.

L’Encantada Artigaux 2015 #57 (Uniblanc – heavy char) 55%

Nose: Snapple peach tea and hello alcohol! Old school McDonald’s Baked Peach Pie dessert. Fresh Madagascar vanilla beans. Sticky fig and date pudding. Sugary syrup in fruit cocktail. Jordan almonds. Biscoff cookie, caramel, coconut marshmallows.

Palate: Fleeting initial note of the cheeky peachy and then goes more tannic and dry like oversteeped black tea and oak. Palate is thin and missing heft, not a lot going on here. I don’t agree with ryan. Carmeley. Tasted anise treats.
