A 15-year-old single malt from the Springbank distillery with plenty of sherry notes and spice, dried fruits, and nuts.
Fragrant with a certain richness. Notes of fruit salad and a hint of caramel, pineapple, guava and passion fruit lurk. There are notes of dried leather and old ropes. A hint of toffee sweetness and some granary toast.
Quite full and rich. There are notes of creamy fruit salad and more exotic fruit notes. There is palpable mastication from the oaked tannins with a hint of spice.
Fairly long with a gentle warmth.

I'm sitting here writing this at a hotel, where a 2.5 oz pour of this stuff is only $17 US. I have been wanting to try this one for years, but I haven't been willing to pull the trigger on a $130 bottle without at least trying it once. Tonight I got my chance, and let me tell you, this is fantastic stuff. To me, it's really barking up the same tree as a Highland Park 18, in that it's got a delicious blend of rich sherry and mild peat smoke. Unlike Highland Park however, this stuff is bottled at 46%, and it's non chill filtered, which actually gives it a mouthfeel that is superior to Highland Park. Anyway, if you like that sherry/mild peat blended flavor, do not be the least bit afraid to pick up a bottle of this like I was. I regret that I didn't try it sooner. It's top notch Scotch, and very classy.
This is a delicious malt. Being relatively new to whisky, this is probably the most complex whisky I've had so far. It's quite incredible how much you can get out of this bottle, simply just by giving it some time in the glass and just a drop or two of water. Can't wait to try out some more bottles from Springbank!
Great tasting notes on this Campbeltown gem, chaps! From a neat pour, every note listed above is spot on. Sometimes I can find a few different nuances coming thru in a tasting, but this Springbank 15 is everything above in a buttery smooth, well-balanced package!
Buying this whiskey at a super price was the first suprise (38 GBP ). Second was how acurate the tasting notes from M.O.M are. spot on. getting Nose,notes of the traditional fruit salad sweets of old,tutti fruiti bubble gum, pinapple is there although not so obvious tiny hint of lavender slight peat influence. Palate, peat slight tar,pear, rhubarb and custard sweets ,really well balanced, full flavour, . finish is smooth and rewarding recommedable.
