Once a year,  your LFW team debate which whiskies have proved most attractive for our customers following an in-shop taster.  This year’s clear-cut winner is:

Springbank Madeira Wood 11yo
55.1% abv
£36.60 inc vat
£31.83 ex vat
Distilled June 1997, Bottled January 2009, limited to 9090 bottles.

Initially a sherried nose, then the Madeira cuts in giving caramel-sweetness, mustiness and spice.

Explosive on the tongue, floral-vegetative (greenhouses) and a little smoke. Some of that sulphur-tobacco notes that European oak is expressing at the moment. Vigerous, mouth challenging and enjoyable for a much cask influenced Whisky.

Water gives more Madeira and greener veg initially, then settles to an enjoyable and mouth filling dram. Recommended.
