Springbank Marsala Wood
Les Moffat fra Springbank har nu bekræftet rygtet:
Yes this is true there is a Marsala Wood Expression planned for release in August of this year. The normal sized production run for the Wood Expressions is between 5000 and 8000 bottles, so the Marsala will likely be bottled in a similar quantity. However, this may vary considerably depending on how many casks are vatted come August.

As many of you have heard, the Springbank Marsala Wood Expression (58% abv), and the second release of Hazelburn 8 year old (46%) are all bottled. We started shipping these products last week to Europe and Japan, with North America following in the next couple of weeks.

Men efter "Tokaji Finish" skal jeg undtagelsesvis ingen have.
Hazelburn har jeg selvfølgelig på ordresedlen - de er begrænset til en per kunde....

Hazelburn
Wood Type - 60% Bourbon/40% Sherry
Strength - 46% abv
Annual Outturn - 6000 bottles
TASTING NOTE
COLOUR Pale gold
NOSE Light and delicate, the 8 yo Hazelburn has subtle nuances of raspberry coulis, shortbread and sherbet. Sweet vanilla, malt and white oak are also in evidence.
PALATE Elegantly sweet and malty. Loads of vanilla flavour comines well with toasty oak notes leading to a spicey aftertaste. No smokiness in triple distilled Hazelburn .
FINISH A slightly peppery finish to a refined and elegant dram
Springbank Marsala Wood Expression

Wood type - & years in Re-fill sherry, 2 years in fresh marsala

Bottled - August 2006
Strength - 58% abv

TASTING NOTE
COLOUR Russet
NOSE Sugar and spice and all things nice! Rich, sweet and syrupy. Crème caramel, coffee creams and rum and raisin. Forget dessert, just have this instead!
PALATE Thick and rich on the palate, the sweetness from the nose develops and stays at the front of your tongue. Hints of fruit and nut chocolate
FINISH Long and lingering. The Marsala and Springbank compliment each other without either being too dominant. A perfect balance.
