As soon as i arrived to Scotland, the first thing i looked for, was a whisky that i have been craving, and somehow it has been dodging my glass. I was successful in trapping a very valuable single malt, the now very popular Springbank Cask Strength 12yo. It has recently become more difficult to obtain, specially if we are talking "price-wise". With a lovely red copper color, this has been bottled at 56.1%abv. On the nose, it is fantastic. Red fruits, bbq sauce, pork grease, glazed ham and a cocoa dark chocolate. Coffee beans. After a first sip, the aroma changed into a red fruit syrup,  feels thick on the nose. Sulphuric minerals, cotton candy and a thick burnt toffee. It is super complex, with various layers. On the palate, it is freaking delicious. Red fruit marmalade with chilli, raw rice. Not overly complex, but great. Aftertaste is incredibly rewarding and delicious. Fireworks, pepper, chilli, red fruitiness. Overall, this is worth every penny to this date. If you let this bottle unopened for a little while, the price might go way to up and that might make it not worthy considering price vs quality; but to this date, May 2023, this is still a steal for the price it goes nowadays. A fully enjoyable whisky, with enough power, aromas and flavors; i love this single malt. My score for it is 93 over 100.
