Mina kommentarer:
En Society buteljering gjord på Prisma korn som odlats nära Springbank.
Skulle hämta hem de sista fyra flaskorna som väntade på Springbank, men de gick i min väska så jag fick posta hem dem till mig själv! Min poäng: ?? p

Springbank 11 yo 1999/2011 ‘Local Barley’ (57.9%, OB, Springbank Society, Recharred Sherry Butt, 516 bottles)
A new Local Barley, imagine what that means to old school whisky fans! What’s more, this is from a single barley variety (Prisma) and from a single farm. Colour: full gold. Nose: starts very hot and very varnishy, almost bourbon-like despite the ‘sherry’ component. What’s also interesting is that it’s also very farmy (single farm!) and tarry at the same time. Bitter chocolate. Then more glue, walnut stain and loads of marzipan as well as a little peat smoke. It’s a huge whisky, very concentrated and very unusual so far.
With water: becomes very animal and even farmier. Cow stable, horse sweat and old balsamico, with something medicinal in the background, a bit ala Longrow. Calms down after quite some time (fifteen minutes) and becomes rounder and more on dried fruits. Fun nose. Mouth (neat): as wacky as new Springbanks can be, rich, restless, wide yet heavy, tarry, herbal, smoky, grassy, mineral… There’s also a lot of liquorice, from roots to salmiak, and a rather obvious Jaegermeisterness. Excuse me. With water: excellent, very acrid in a nice way, bitter, very herbal… The smokiness grew bigger as well. Finish: very long, bitter and just as Jaegermeistery as before. I’m sorry. Comments: quite a beast. I don’t think you’d have four glasses of this in a row, for it’s so big, but it’s really spectacular even if I tend to like the ‘clean/sharp’ ones even better. And remember what Sir Alexander Fleming said: "If penicillin can cure those that are ill, Spanish sherry can bring the dead back to life." Aha.
SGP:373 - 88 points.
