Springbank 15 Year

I don't mean to be dramatic but this is the best whiskey I have ever had. The label looks like something from Staples, the cork is well let's just say it's functional and the box is certainly made of car sales mens recycled business cards. The thing is they could ship this in an old sock and I'd still be mesmerized. I'm less than 2 years into my whiskey journey so I'm not entirely sure what is happening here but I know there is a lot to this and that there is something important happening here. There is smoke and sweetness and creaminess and dried dark fruits and there is this mind blowing wave of a flavour I have yet to pin point that hits your palate a second after arrival that is utterly unlike anything I have experienced in any whiskey before. I look forward to trying to peel back the layers here and while it is frustrating for my new and feeble sensibilities to discern I am thrilled to be on the journey. For me this is staggering stuff, utterly perfect. 100/100
