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.
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.
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.
Very long with hints of aniseed and raisin sweetness.
Wow. there's so much to take in... this is a whisky worth spending serious time with.

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.
