Springbank 21 Year Old has become something of a legend among whisky lovers and with good reason. It's a spectacular dram that offers unbelievable complexity.
Nose: There is a lot going on here; heather, plums and peach, quite dry but with hints of honey. There's a slight waxy note too with a little bit of leather.
Palate: Very soft, with caramelised fruit and raisins and cassis. The spices include cinnamon and vanilla and there's some oaky dryness to balance the honey. A subtle wood smoke and a hint of the sea.
Finish: Very long with hints of aniseed and raisin sweetness.
Overall: Wow. there's so much to take in... this is a whisky worth spending serious time with.

Yeah, the flat and boring guy either got an oxidized bottle (any wet newspaper in there, bub?) or he should stick with his cheaper drams - seem to make him perfectly happy. While I wish they'd re-release a 21yr cask strength version again, this superb whisky will just have to do. For me, there's no reason to climb up to the 25yr: the 21yr has a more enjoyable mid-palate, and a finish for days. Grabbed 3 bottles of this.

Very average. Nose was a massive disappointment. I had read so many positive reviews about this being 'the best springbank 21 for years', yet to me, it was no better than a 12 year old £60 Edrador. Sorry, much better value out there for this quality. Not bad, just not worth £200.

The 'flat and boring' cannot be from the 2018-release of this. It's simply superb, possibly the best Sprinkbank 21 for the last few decades. Maybe he had a bad bottle? Maybe he's just a complete idiot.

I taste apples as well ... truly beautiful.

One of the best I’ve ever tasted. I thought the 15 year old springbank was stunning but this dram is on another level. One of my all time favourites.

I concur with the chaps’ review, apart from a) that the taste doesn’t run back down the palate as you’d expect from a truly good whisky, and b) that it has that nice dungeon-like hint of great great granddad’s leather cartridge case you tend to get in the truly old whiskies.

At this level it's just a matter of opinion. It has been my favorite for the last 20 years.

One of the best of all-time. Relatively unknown.

I first tried this over 25 years ago, and have been smitten ever since.

Can a whisky "get cork"? Because that's the foremost association I get from my bottle! If the whisky doesn't have that excuse, it is flat and boring. The nose is just wooden. The palate is uninspiring and evaporates quickly. The finish is awful. I can't wait to get something else.You can get drunk with this stuff if you have nothing else - and that desire. Otherwise, I am not impressed.

Thee best whisky in the world

Ditto. Nothing more to say

I owned a bottle about 15 years ago. We finished it, and I still miss it.

Really good whisky. If you get a chance, please try it.
