Nose: cream coconut, pineapple, mango, barley sugar, salt, limestone, fresh minerals, gentle smoke, tropical Bourbon influences, freshly sliced apple, lemon zest and vanilla. Palate: oily smoke like a tar fire, more salt, fruit syrups (apple and passionfruit) with the salt contrasting this to reveal a creamy barley texture. Finish: gentle smoke coats your mouth and tongue, soft wood spices and a swelling of 'Springbank Funk' - the oak isn't dominant and allows the unique spirit of Springbank to follow up on all of these big flavours' promises.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCask 150: 'We've traded tropical fruit for a bigger texture'.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Nose: Lemon. Much less tropical than it’s younger brother bottling. Cut grass, citrus peels, hay bails, farmyard funkiness, mint, toffee, and cherry. The toffee note takes a while to show itself. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ePalate: Spicier! Heavier oak and freshly sawn wood, liquorice. No fruit notes. Not as overwhelming as it may sound. Minted toffee, coriander, sea salt and drying smoke. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinish: Buttery pastry, butter cream, more salt, green tea, ‘Springbank Funk’ and an overall creaminess. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eVerdict: We’ve traded tropical fruit for a bigger texture with the 25YO. Oak and drier flavours lead the way, but it’s still quite creamy and decadent.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spirits Whisky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58787979264374,"sku":"0001-7437","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0437\/0215\/7464\/files\/Springbanksyn20147.png?v=1790006886","url":"https:\/\/www.tauruswines.co.uk\/products\/0001-7437","provider":"Taurus Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
