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.

This is absolutely not a beginner's Scotch, it's a little rough around the edges. This whisky has a phenominal complexity, bottled at the right proof, 92, proudly not chill filtered, and extra full bodied. A real old time style whisky that makes you think about the wild west and rough guys getting in bar fights in the 19th century. Yeah it costs alot in the US if you can find it but this is kind of a unique product on the market and I am a retailer sitting on 4 bottles of this precious single malt and if no one buys it I will drink it all.
A little disappointed with this one. I had a bottle of this about 5 months ago and it was sublime, this latest batch/bottle isn’t a patch on that first one. Shame as I’d come to expect more from this distillery. I’d say it’s a lot “thinner” than the one I had before, less resinous, which was a part of my original joy.
The fragrance which develops around the palate immediately after swallowing the nectar is deep and complex and unforgettable.
A true classic and exemplifies the Campbeltown style. This is really good stuff but might not be to everyone's taste. It's complex, smoky and has that Campbeltown funk - this is more to do with the way the stills are heated than a late cut. Slightly salty, slightly creamy, slightly fruity good balance of sherry and bourbon casks. Impressive.
I see what the fuzz is about nosewise, but the finish screams a very late cut. Lots of sulfur compounds, wet dog, metal and blood.
