Nose

All quite sweet and light with banana, café au lait, dried fig, but as it opens out comes some sooty/peaty notes. An intriguing mix.

Palate

A very solid start with toffee/caramelised fruit in the centre held in check by a slightly austere grip.

Finish

Smoky with raisin, baked banana, spice.

Comment

The sweetness of the rum is never allowed to dominate the Springbank character. Well integrated.
