Springbank 15 Year Old
(0.75l, 46%)
Springbank 15 could be one of the year’s most under-rated Single Malts with a spot-on, balanced complexity worth a second round.
Springbank Distillery is one of the precious few holdouts in three, unique ways. The first is that they are still family owned — the Mitchell family has owned and operated Springbank officially since 1828. The second is that they are one of only two distilleries left in Campbelltown. The third is that they are one of only two distilleries in Scotland that controls all aspects of production on the same premises — from malting to bottling. Springbank produces a range of Whiskies across the favor spectrum, from sweeter "finished" drams through peated and spicy sippers in three brands, including Longrow, Hazelburn, and their namesake Springbank.
The Springbank line of Single Malts has a very meticulous procedure. First, the malt is oh-so-lightly peated to deliver a wisp of toasted warmth and brine, and then the Spirit passes through their uniquely famous "two-and-a-half times" distillation method. Springbank 15 Year Old is this exceptional Single Malt matured for a full fifteen years in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks and bottled at a PERFECT 46% ABV with natural color and no unnecessary filtration.
Smartass Corner:
Springbank’s famous "two-and-a-half times" distillation involves normal double distillation, with a portion set aside and the remainder passed through again for a third run — thus, 2.5x. The process and amount held back is to taste at the direction of the master distiller.

Tasting Notes
Appearance / Color
Golden Straw
Nose / Aroma / Smell
The aroma speaks to Sherry influence and proper age with notes of book leather, old hemp ropes, and a surprising amount of exotic fruits from passion fruit and mango to guava, warm toffee pudding, and sea spray.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
The flavor profile is equally complex with peach cobbler and marzipan over more leather and toffee crumble with walnuts by the seashore.
Finish
The finish seems to last forever with a sweet, creamy praline note.

Ratings & Reviews
Nick,
Many of the notes on the Flavor Spiral are right on point except I also get a lot of strawberry shortcake on the nose. Full bodied and very complex. Will not disappoint I would definitely recommend.
James,
Highly enjoyable. Nose is apple-pear, reminiscent of a California white wine.. In the mouth, sweet fruit, oak and a hint of spice up front finishing with mild lemon salinity. Very smooth. I look forward to more in the future.
Jade,
One of my favorites.
Josh,
Very good, very smooth, a bit smoky with nice finish.
Sean,
Favorite single malt.
