Springbank Society
How are we all?
Feels like we haven’t spoken in ages. Don’t worry, you will hear from me a lot more in the next few months. For today, however, I am very happy to drop you all this quick, little email to tell you about Spirit of Freedom which is available in the UK Cadenhead shops now. Containing 62 different Scotch Whiskies, this blend is the perfect dram for the 62% ahead of Article 50.
Tasting notes:
Nose – A lovely introduction to this whisky; sweet and fresh with a minty background. It then becomes really fruity with apricots, bananas and pears.
Palate – A light and easy-drinking dram.The fruity theme continues with melon and raspberries, combined with vanilla cream; a Scottish malty panna cotta.
Finish – You’ll want to share it with your pals or then again, maybe better to keep it to yourself, it’s very moreish and buttery.
Please see the advert above for full details or check out our website.
It will likely retail at about £25.00; please contact your preferred retailer or stockist if you would like a bottle.
And although I am sure you will know this, please be aware of the following:
- This is not a Society bottle
- This is not a core range product

Our Springbank Burgundy and Hazelburn Barolo are being launched in Sweden today (Thursday 23rd March 17). The Springbank Burgundy 12yo has been matured in Fresh Burgundy Casks and bottled at cask strength 53.5%vol. The tasting notes for this (as included in the newsletter back in June):
Nose: Bold and rich with mineral and dunnage warehouse notes combining with maple syrup, pancetta, cranberry and red currants.
Palate: A soft velvet like texture with buttered brown toast and chocolate shortbread complimenting light herb & oak notes.
Finish: A medium dry finish gives up liquorice and mint accompanied woody tannins
The Hazelburn 9yo Barolo (57.9% abv) spent 6 years in a fresh bourbon cask and then 3 years in a refill Barolo wine cask (which had previously contained Springbank).
Nose: The dram begins with perfume and confectionary, then the essence of sugared almonds is revealed, complimented by the sweetness of sherbet
Palate: Peppery with light tannins and the sweetness is continued with dry fruits and the subtle hint of coconut shavings
Finish: Sugary, with dark chocolate guiding us throughout the pineapple custard combined with vanilla

I will be speaking to you all again very soon, in fact I will be in touch so often you will be tired of hearing from me.
Until then,
