Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland
Reviewed
November 27, 2022 (edited February 1, 2023)
(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 19 November 2022).
Nose: Dried fruit, malt, cherries, berries, raisins and currants
Palate: Sherry!!! Dried fruit, funky, diesel, farmyard-y, orange peel, damp peat, chocolate cherries.
Finish: Long finish. Dark fruit, chocolate, sherry, tobacco, leather, farmyard funk. Fizzy and vibrant note on the aftertaste.
This is a complete sherry bomb, with a load of funky, peaty dried fruit. I'm not usually a Springbank fanboy for their standard range, but this is an unctuous and full -bodied cracker of a dram.
Came first out of the six drams, with 70% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 93% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky. This was a very close second for favourite of the tasting for me.

@PBMichiganWolverine It's the same here in Scotland. Whenever there is a release, there are queues around the block at any of the specialist whisky stores that 'might' have an allocation. Usually the only way you have a chance of trying a non-core Springbank is to go into one of the ballots.
This sounds amazing. I stopped searching for any Springbank …impossible to find
