This is how I like my sherry cask whiskies: caramelized peanuts on the nose, with a hit of burnt match and a slightly funky background note. It’s oily in the mouth and surprisingly bold for the ABV. There’s a big hit of tangy sweetness upfront and then a slow fade to a peppery spice. It finishes slightly sweet and tangy, with a long oily aftertaste of dusky brown sugar. Great mouthfeel and a cask that hasn’t completely overwhelmed the spirit makes this an outstanding whisky.

@PBMichiganWolverine Thanks!
@Richard-ModernDrinking i think I saved you a pour of that 14. I have a few samples to send over —-i’ll Wait till Labor Day, since I’ll open up 1-2 new stuff
@PBMichiganWolverine The 14 seems to be 20% more expensive. Think I’ll have to pick up a bottle of the 13.
I couldn't agree more, but then I drank the Springbank Kool-aid long ago and have never recovered :-) God's Own Distillery.
The 14 from this year’s release was really good. I think one can’t go wrong with a Springbank product + sherry matured
