Taste: maple 
Finish: 
Comment: Sans water, it is difficult to find much beyond sweetness on the nose - but not impossible! Just beyond the sugar sweetness (as opposed to fruit sweetness), there is some savory & spice influence. Patience through becoming accustomed to the up-front fruit sweetness is required in order to uncover this hidden layer to Springbank's 12-year old cask strength offering.
The addition of water only dampens the nose, without revealing any additional depth. But the ready formation of a Scotch mist is a satisfying consolation.
This whisky's taste experience is immediately more complex than what its slower-developing nose offers. Sweetness is immediately mixed with the bitterness of oak, and even coffee. These contrasting flavors circle each other well. Focus on one aspect, and another throws its hand in the air, demanding to be noticed.
Springbank 12-year old cask strength's finish is a nicely muted echo of its flavor profile. The same balance of sweet, herbal and bitter but without the high ABV intensity. On the other hand, sweetness is the overarching character throughout the finish with the addition of water.
