Springs at you with a salty, peaty wave... then..?

Nose

Salt, iodine, sea, peat, spice... no doubt. A heavy-hitter that doesn't hold back on what it's meant to be. There is an oaky scent but nothing much of the promised fruitiness I've read about. Pretty standard stuff so far.

Palate

And more of the same. At least there's consistency from the nose with definitely lots of spice and hints of cinnamon and vanilla with the oakiness reappearing towards the end. Good, but...

Finish

Medium to long finish but a rather narrow flavour profile for me with the saltiness and iodine coming back a little. To be honest, a very decent Scotch but slightly disappointing from all the good things I've heard about this famous whisky.

General description

As impressive as its reputation. Salty, mineral and light peated. Grungy with hints of rubber and damp smoke

Eiche und Rauchig

Eichenoten

General description

Im Geruch viel Birne und etwas Rauch, die ich im Geschmack aber nicht wiederfinde. Dort gibt's Vanille und Honig. Im Abgang Eiche, Rauch und Gewürze.

Nose

Viel Birne, dazu Meersalz. Nach und nach kommt Rauch durch.

Palate

Honig und Vanille im Überfluss. Langsam kommt dann Schärfe durch.

Finish

Schärfe, die nach und nach abklingt. Eiche und Rauch gewinnen dann an Stärke.

General description

some smoke. pepper and oak. alcohol is not too dominant

General description

Tolles Preis/-Leistungsverhältnis. Sehr komplex und kräftig. Im Abgang ist er mir etwas zu herb. Aber Aroma und Geschmack können dafür umso mehr glänzen. Toller Tropfen und regelmäßig ein Kauf wert.

Nose

leichter Rauch, süß, fruchtig (Weintraube, Pfirsich, Mango), Eiche, leichte Würze (u.a. Muskat), sehr leichte Sherry-Note, ganz wenig maritime Noten, Wildkräuter

Palate

kräftig würziger Antritt, fruchtig, süß, viel Eiche, Wildkräuter, etwas Malz, stärkere maritime Noten als beim Aroma, sehr leichter Rauch, nussig

General description

Nose: light peat, sea air, Sherry, cinnamon, cherry, black pepper alcohol, toffee, opening into more of a sweet mapleb bb
Palate: leathery toffee, sweet wheat, pear, black pepper, herbal hints, light honey-nut, grainy malts

The aroma opens up nicely but the taste disappoints a bit at first with less sweetness and more subtle grain components. Fairly hot with nice burn at the back. The palate embraces this more as you continue through the pour. Medium-plus body.

General description

Fruit, little smoke. Pretty complex and long

General description

Lovely tropical fruits and maltiness that carries through the nose into the palate. hint of smoke and hints of lots of other flavours. impressive dram

Nose

Pineapple, tropical fruits, sweet, malted barley, toffee, hint of yeast, fresh orchard fruits, tiger bread, salt.

Palate

Very malty, oak, spicy, slightly savoury, sweet, tropical fruits just like the nose, caramel, a little heat and prickle, there's a slight bitterness, hint of smoke, slight oiliness, hint of plasticine, grapes.

Finish

Quite dry, medium-long, pencil shavings, bitter chocolate

General description

mit blumigen Nuacen, Zitrusnoten, maritimen Einflüsse, sanftem Torfrauch. Eine Spur Sherry und etwas Eiche rundet alles ab. Der Geschmack ist sehr schön harmonisch. Nach kurzem erreicht deinen Gaumen eine schöne Pfefferbriese während sich eine schöne Eichennote aufbaut. Hand in Hand kommt eine rauchige Note dazu die im Abgang sanft abklingt.

General description

excellent, complex, best of drinked whisky

General description

The best standard 10 year offering (that isn't cask strength)? I think so.

General description

Some smokiness but quite sweet and fruity overall.

Nose

A bit smoky with hints of tar and peat. Some fruitiness on the back end.

Palate

Sweet in front end. Fruity with some smoke and spicy alcohol burn on the side.

Finish

Fruity and sweet with vanilla and spicy alcohol burn.

General description

Wow.... What a great drink this one is. Every time I have a glass of this whisky I taste something different. It is a complex mixture of many different flavours, all of which are very subtle with no one flavour being stronger or standing out beyond any other. Yet together all these flavours make for one extremely pleasant dram.
One time I taste sweetness with a hint of peat. On another occasion I picked out heather and toffee together with a very slight hint of saltiness then several minutes later an even slighter hint of smoke. Tonight I have got vanilla with apples and pears and that distant hint of peat oh and maybe sherry too.
This is probably one of the most interesting drams I have had the pleasure to try and I will most definitely buy this one again.... And again!

General description

Lucky find in a local shop... very nice whisky.

Nose

I get very light smoke, oak, and salt

Palate

spice, little peat, and a light fruit taste near the end

Finish

very nice finish, does have a slight burn but it isn't unpleasant. few drops of distilled water help

General description

Gentle nose. Sweet. Smoke takes time to develop. Pear notes on the palate. Reminds me a bit of Glenffidich 12 but more complex. Smoke at the back. Interesting aftertaste. 3 differing stages, 3 different experience.

General description

Smooth, nice

Nose

Gentle smoke, fruit, seaside

Palate

Rich, smooth, minimal smoke, fruitiness, woody, more full bodied than expected

Finish

Smooth and rich, no lingering peat.

General description

Fresh and smooth, very easy to drink, sweet spicy and fruity.

General description

very good
smooth

General description

Well balanced and unique tasting. Zest, earthy, sweet, medicinal. Can tell the bourbon influence. Slight peat at the end. Heavy and long lasting.

General description

Well rounded. A little cheese funk and pear nose. A little smoke. Very floral. A little salt, mildly oak vanilla. Some pepper and spice on the after and then a sweet lemon finish. Smoke builds.

General description

General description

I love peaty Islays, and Springbank does not have much peat compared to LagaPhroigBeg but just enough to catch attention and balance the salty fruity oily palate. 92 proof is nice compared to usual 80 proof drams. Almost like Ardbeg 10 with smoke turned down. Unique flavor profile. However, Clinelish 14 does taste somewhat similar, with the smoke gone, clarity turned up, and smooth complexity more apparent, albeit bit less dense.

General description

Some fruit notes like orange, lemon and pears, very malty, a decent amount of oiliness and peat is akso there but the perfect overall ballance elevates it by miles. Sweet on the introduction, a slight bitterness on the mid-palate and some salty and spicy notes like cinnamon and salted caramel on the finish. At the very end of ge finish the bitterness returns. Simply amazin

General description

no so good as i hoped to be.

General description

My first Campbelltown whisky. Very well rounded. No single flavor really feels dominant. Instead, sweatness and earthiness and fruit notes mesh together into a very drinkable whisky

General description

Nice oak, slight peat with a wonderful oily, butter finish. Quite floral, a wee citrus, and distinctly salt brine influences

General description

magic marker aroma. decent burn with a white grape finish.

General description

My first Campbeltown malt, actually different, yet not fully rewarding.
A bit overwhelming alcohol nose, a tasty herbal palate and slightly bitter aftertaste. In the end, it's not bad at all, just not exactly my taste.

General description

Malty and fruity, ends with spices. better balanced than the Kilkerran, imo

General description

(ALTE ABFÜLLUNG 2004)
Trocken, salzig, fruchtig. Wenig Rauch kein Torf. Lang anhaltender Geschmack mit trockener Frucht am Ende.

General description

light, sweet vanlla herb, not dry and smooth

General description

Smooth whiskey that is easy to drink. It doesn’t have a whole lot going on for the flavor. Flavors were just to mellow.

General description

Campbeltown distillery
A very tasty, mild-peated malt with a surprising amount of fruit. Very well-balanced.

Sweet fruit i.e. pears, slight smoke with spice

Slight tongue tingle, malty , salty sweet

The finish is long and crisp with a coastal tang and a trailing peat with oaked dryness.

Very balancer spirit with peat/toffee/fruity flavours. Very smooth body with nice finish.

General description

.

General description

This is a real gem imo. Very well balanced between oiliness, smoke and sweetness. Lots of distillery character. Maybe some fruitiness.

General description

really good

General description

Chameleon in whiskies. Very appely almost orange like nose. But when you get in to it you will taste the pure peaty beast yet not to aggressive but more like respect demanding. Dry hazelnuts can be tasted.

General description

Earthy crisp/clean body and plenty of depth to it. Another interesting Campbeltown whisky.

Nose

Peat is present with an earthy/nutty quality, a hint of salinity.

Palate

Initially quite bland, cereal sweetness. Builds nicely into a nutty body with smoke arriving ready for the finish.

Finish

Long and crisp with a coastal tang and a trailing peat, oaky dryness.

General description

buttery, smells like toffee. short finish

General description

buttery, toffee, cut grass, short finish

General description

a blend of sweet and peat

Nose

sweet nose with vanilla and a hint of honey or floral sweet. there is a touch of Smokey peat there as well

Palate

a lot less sweet than the nose and hits with a taste of smoke, and vanilla with notes of new shoe leather

Finish

short finish and doesn't sit. strong alcohol in the throat and a mild sweet.

General description

A tasting @ whisky cafe L&B Amsterdam round 1.

Beforehand, this Campbeltown Springbank 10 has everything a dram needs. It has an abv of 46%, is uncoloured and unchillfiltered.
From the malt used, until bottling, eveything is done at the distillery.
At Springbank they combine double and triple distillation to compose this dram. So you get a 2,5 distilled dram.

After pouring this very nice and complex dram shows a ballet of different experiences. It's slight smokey with a malty fruityness.
Just when you think that was it, an oaky vanilla cinnamon pops up. You can smell both the sherry and bourbon casks used for maturation.
The nosing makes you craving for the first zip. Wow.

On the palate a smooth malty oakyness is detectable. Just when you think this is it, you start to realise you're fooled. An increasing power and spice from the European oak used, reveals itself along with the nuttyness of the sherried oak.
This dram nicely balances between spicy oak and smooth fruit.

The medium finish has no bitterness at all. Instead there's a nice prickling salty all-spice, slowly fading into a lovely chocolate finish.

This is a real multiple headed monster. Every time you chopped a head of, the next one appears.
Overall very nice, balanced and surprisingly complex. Therefore very advisable.

86 points.

General description

A little too medicinal for my liking, otherwise just okay, nothing special

Springbank! My favourite 10yo from my favourite distillery. Nicely balanced and still powerful.

Full nose with a lot vanilla, plums and marzipan and a bit of sherry character. Medium peated.

Palate

soft in the beginning getting stronger and stronger, with much more sherry, raisins, peat and spices. Oak coming through.
