Springbank 15 Year

Pretty delicious. definitely drink again.

nice whisky from the Capetown region. this is peaty but not overpowering. A few drops of water opens it up nicely, releases the flavors and cuts down the peaty notes.

Dinner out, and bought myself a pour. At $8 /pour, a pretty good value for money. This is surprisingly so very different than the 10. I expected a difference of course, but this is nothing derived from the likes of the 10. The earthy soot is replaced by more of a sweeter floral profile with just a wisp of smoke. Tasted blind, I’d peg this for a Speysider. One of my favorite distilleries; can’t ever go wrong with a Springbank. Just a question of whether it’s good or excellent.
