Review of
Claxton's Dalswinton Series Springbank
30 Year Old, a silky smooth delivery
where the barley sugars, vanilla and
vibrant sweet oak spices lead, followed
by a touch of apple and a combination of
zesty orange and lemon, pineapple. A wee
touch of pepper and a lovely touch of
peat hanging around the background.
 Claxton's
Dalswinton Series Springbank 30 Year Old is
one of five whiskies in Claxton's second
batch of releases in their Dalswinton
Series.
All the the whiskies in this release
have been distilled at a renowned
coastal Scotch whisky distillery, this
one was distilled at Springbank in
Campbeltown and was matured for 30 years in a
Hogshead Cask before being bottled
at 44.5% ABV and only 100 bottles were
drawn from the cask.
Hailing from one of Scotland's most
revered coastal distilleries, this
Springbank 30 Year Old is said to
deliver the complexity you'd expect from
such a mature whisky. Sweet and spicy,
with notes of tropical fruits and bubble
gum, it offers an exceptional dram from
start to finish.
The decanter features an engraving of
Patrick Millar’s steam engine. In 1788,
the first steamboat in Britain sailed
across Dalswinton Loch, a groundbreaking
project funded by Millar, then owner of
the Dalswinton Estate. This historic
voyage marked the first steam-powered
boat journey in the United Kingdom.

Producer's
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Gentle
sweet vanilla, distant lemon citrus and
fresh pear, pepper and just a slight
whiff of smoke.
Taste: A
silky smooth delivery where the barley
sugars, vanilla and vibrant sweet oak
spices lead, followed by a touch of
apple and a combination of zesty orange
and lemon, pineapple. A wee touch of
pepper and a lovely touch of peat
hanging around the background.
Finish: Long,
the vanilla and fruit bows out first, a
little more pepper and gentle peat, the
sweet oak and spices peak and slowly
bitter out.
Comment:
A rather shy gentle nose, and it takes a
couple of mouthfuls for the flavours to
build in the palate but they are worth
it.
