Interesting fact… Springbank 18 Year Old Second Edition whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Springbank 18 Year Old Second Edition whiskey, instead of whisky.
Nose: Berry fruits, toasted bananas, caramel, cocoa, peppery, fruity, coastal. Quite oily. Palate: Big, spicy and gutsy, with notes of pepper, chilli, pine, aniseed, rich fruits, oily. Finish: Long, salty and chocolatey with hints of fruit.

The best of the bunch
Just finishing a flight of 10, 15 and 18 and have to say, the 18 comes out way on top. Lovely soft, rich mouthfeel, somewhat oily and with the trademark springbank notes. Will definately be picking up a bottle or two of this when I have the cash!
Almost
I am a Springer fan 100%. I really, really enjoy the 18 year. Having said that, I do not believe that it is worth the extra money. Buy the 15.
