Springbank Open Day 2016 9 Year Old, Refill Marsala Hogshead Cask, 2016, 58.7%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

This sounds like a lively balance rather than a fully plush, rich style. The nose has some inviting weight from the condensed milk toffee and candied roasted nuts, while the palate turns sharper and more citric, with lemon and lime alongside spice. That contrast appeals to me: there’s enough sweetness and texture to keep it engaging, but the long, drying finish sounds brisk and focused rather than soft. The eucalyptus and clove oil with water add an intriguing extra turn.
