While the 5-year-old expressions we discussed previously show the raw power of the spirit, this 20-year-old release demonstrates the incredible transformative power of full-term maturation in a Fresh Port Cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a \"finish\"; the spirit has spent two decades interacting with the rich, wine-soaked oak, resulting in a dark, brooding, and profoundly complex Campbeltown dram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, dark, and autumnal. The initial aroma is a thick wave of damson jam, black cherries, and old leather bookbindings. As it breathes, the classic Springbank \"dirty\" notes emerge—dunnage warehouse floors, soot, and a hint of oily diesel. There is a refined sweetness of dark chocolate shavings and pipe tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The texture is remarkably velvety and heavy. It leads with a concentrated dark fruit sweetness—think blackberry reduction and spiced plums. This is immediately met by a savory, earthy peat smoke and a touch of sea salt. The Port influence brings a dry, tannic structure that offers notes of roasted walnuts and espresso beans mid-palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Immensely long and drying. The sweetness of the Port fades into a sophisticated bitterness of 90% dark cocoa and charred oak. A final, lingering note of dunnage funk and a whisper of wood smoke remains on the palate for minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chameleon Whisky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52786360123667,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/9383\/1699\/files\/SpringbankSociety20YearOldFreshPortCaskMatured2024Release.jpg?v=1770043575","url":"https:\/\/chameleonwhisky.com\/products\/springbank-society-20-year-old-fresh-port-cask-matured-2024-release-30ml-55-7","provider":"Chameleon Whisky","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
