    NEW BOTTLING'S FROM CADENHEADS & SPRINGBANK FEBRUARY 2013

    Wed, 13/02/2013 - 14:58 — sean

    From Springbank: Longrow Rundlets & Kilderkins 11y/o 51.7%
    Nose:     Smoke is easy to identify from the beginning and is soon joined with medicinal notes and subtle burning embers. On returning to nose, sweetness such as toffee.
    Palate: Both peat and smoke are detected yet it is simultaneously sweet, particularly toffee and fudge.  This is followed with the taste of liquorice. Rich and oily from its maturation in small casks, it gives an impression of being older than its 11 years.
    Finish: Long, smooth and sweet.  Slow and lingering hint of peat with peat reaching a crescendo with a strong peaty aftertaste
