Springbank 9 yo 1996/2006 'Marsala Wood' (58%, OB, 7740 bottles)
Matured for 7 years in refill bourbon, then 2 years in fresh marsala. Colour: bronze. Nose: immediately more interesting than most other finishings done at Springbank I think. We have a huge farminess, with whiffs of wet dog (pick your 'brand') and lots of smoked tea. Sort of peaty, with also lots of manure. Once those wild aromas vanish a little we get strawberries and apricots and much more refinement, with also hints of old walnuts and leather. Sort of heady, nicely. Mouth: sweeter and, alas, weirder, with smells of rotting oranges, scented soap, pineapple sweets and all kinds of Turkish delights. Very strange, closer to most other finishings done 'on' Springbank or Longrow recently. A bit hard I must say, or maybe I'm not perverse enough. The nose was quite beautiful but the palate is, let's say wacky. And I didn't mention the rubber and the sulphur. Now, I really enjoyed the nose, hence my 80 points.
COLOUR: Russet
NOSE: Sugar and spice and all things nice! Rich, sweet and syrupy. Crème caramel, coffee creams and rum and raisin. Forget dessert, just have this instead!
PALATE: Thick and rich on the palate, the sweetness from the nose develops and stays at the front of your tongue. Hints of fruit and nut chocolate
FINISH: Long and lingering. The Marsala and Springbank compliment each other without either being too dominant. A perfect balance.
