Oh my old friend, you're home, finally! Nose - this is the most heavily sherried 25 I've had to date. Reminding me instantly of Arran 25's sherry casks with a mix of beef broth, sherry sweetness, some kind of natural barely, rock candy, salt, sugar cookies, cherries, and god knows what else. Simply wonderfully rich and complex. Taste - Oily and waxy raw grain turns to vanillas and rich salty sugar cookies and these magical sherry notes. Light milk chocolate and honey weave their way into this one. Finishing with light smoke and slight oak tannins to remind you it's 25 years old but not enough to even slightly offend. The finish just won't go away. Only issue? It's 46%...this need desperately to be at 50% Anyway this is the best springbank 25 to date. 4.5 out of 5. Absolutely amazing. Another just master piece from Scotland most loved and best distillery. Worth the price? Nope! Edit - worth the price? I bought a second. And moving it up to a 5 star rating. This is maybe the best springbank I own. I took a bit of time for me to realize just how insane this is. I bought 2. Get you a pour at least guys!
