Has a little bit more sherry the other Springbanks from the past. It has a great nose with loads of spice. But, then the body coats your mouth like tooth paste you can't rinse out.

I have to disagree with Glen, not one of my favorites. Its oily texture I feel lacks balance. For me I don't think it lives up to the hype nor does it replace the 21 year old. But, as a collector you can't go wrong buying a springbank as an investment.

A remarkable dram that I couldn't stand when I first started drinking single malts. Truly exceptional! If you own one Campbeltown this is the one to have.

Nose: Sweet, malty, dry
Body: Heavy, oily
Finish: Long, light smoke, spice

In everyone's top ten for a reason.

Springbank never disappoints and this one (to date) is the best I’ve tried. This is a big incredible malt that I only wish was more widely available. The nose is tremendous with notes of tangerines, kiwi and burnt caramel. I even noted freshly peeled cucumber skin and nectarines. The finish is long dry and warming. I found that water dulled the nose to much and the dram was better neat even tough it was cask strength. I didn’t want this one to end. 

Nose: Tangerines, burnt caramel, kiwi, freshly peeled cucumber skins, over ripe nectarines (a great nose)
Body: Mouth coating (a classic Spingbank)
Finish: Long, dry and warming

A masterpiece!

I bought is bottle on a recent trip to New York City, sight unseen. I broke my rule of always trying something before I buy it, but that’s tough with independent bottles. This whisky didn’t disappoint, it has the classic briny Springbank nose and chewy body but the finish was quite different. This expression has a much more pronounced dry peaty finish then the typical Springbank.

Nose: Sweet, some brine, very subtle peat, burnt vanilla, fresh
Body: Chewy, very flavorful 
Finish: Very dry, peat smoke, long and satisfyingly warm with a little kick. 

Very nice!

Finished in sherry, this Springbank is special. It has a great nose and finish and you know you’re drinking a Campbeltown with the first sip. The nose was sweet from the sherry with under currents of light peat. The finish was long dry and lightly peated. Even though it’s aged for 31 years it maintains that wonderful springbank oiliness in the body. Water opened it up nicely. 

Nose: Big, sherry, burnt caramel, under currents of peat
Body: Oily
Finish: Long dry and lightly peated

Very impressive!
