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.

Took me ages to get into this (half a bottle) but suddenly pow! The toffee hit and fruit salad sweets finish hit me. You can see why it’s got a following. Delicious.
Bought this for Christmas 2020 (The rubbish one) was undecided weather to open this or The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve. I got Licorice on the nose and dried grass. Its definately better for me with a few drops of water. Lots of oak and a slightly salty finish. I don't dislike, but not sure if opened the correct bottle.
Recent standard bottlings have been variable in their quality and my last one was really disappointing . Would be careful before investing in one of these would maybe go for a independent bottling or a smaller batch springbank product
My favourite whisky, and one of the only bottles I couldn't live without. 2020 batch is very good.
Strong Sulphur on the nose clears a little with aeration. Tasting - Viscous malt, candied pineapple touch of rotten eggs . The batch variance must be bad with the 15- They really should have been quality control- My first springbank and perhaps last until they can get my trust back. Hazelburn 13/14 and Kilkerrans are better buys over this. Yikes!
