Springbank 15 Year Old
(0.7l, 46%)
The after dinner pleasure.
This gem of a Whisky was distilled by the Springbank Distillery; the oldest independent and family-owned distillery in Scotland. They're a unique distillery, located in Campbeltown, on the Kintyre peninsula in Scotland, where 28 distilleries operated in the past. Apparently Springbank distillery produces the most hand-made Whisky in Scotland, with human involvement at every step of the process.
They also claim to be the only distillery in Scotland to have never chill-filtered their malts, nor added any artificial colouring. They're also the only distillery in Scotland to produce three different single malts, Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn, using three different production methods. Moreover, they're the only Scottish distillery to do the malting, distillation, and bottling all themselves, on site. Whoosh, that’s a lot!
Springbank 15 Year Old is fully matured in Sherry casks for 15 years. It's Springbank's classic expression, great before dinner, great after dinner, great anytime, really, from dawn till dusk, possibly with a nice cigar. Oh yeah baby!

Ratings & Reviews
guest,
I liked the fact that I was not completely overwhelmed with peat, but it was there without a doubt. Most islay whiskeys have peat as the mainstay, but this was a perfect match for those who don’t LOVE peat. Apart from that, it is dangerously smooth and easy to drink.
Piotr,
At first delicate nose, stronger after a while. Rich taste, very light peat. Long finish... very pleasant whisky, a little too expensive. I would be extremely happy if I got it for a present ;)
Mark,
Smooth and peatty
guest,
Nice!
