As the eye takes in the dark, russet colour of the 15 Year Old, the nose anticipates the rich sweet smell of the sherry casks used to mature this old style Springbank. The anticipation is rewarded as you pull the stopper and the sherry aromas drift out. However, the sweet nose on this dram only begins to suggest the full range of flavours which emerge on the palate; dark chocolate, figs, marzipan, brazil nuts and vanilla all mingle to DRAMatic effect! A truly classic Springbank that is perhaps best enjoyed after-dinner or with your favourite cigar.

Review by Anonymous
- Color
- Dull Caramel
- Nose
- Very Earthy, hints of Vanilla and Orange
- Body
- Full and heavy, but not exceptionally thick.
- Palate
- Very peaty and smoky. Grass and dried leaves.
- Finish
- Medium length. Warm, but not intense. Quite pleasant.
A scotch drinker's scotch. Its strong peat will scare off a novice. Lots of smoke, excellent for a cold winter night. Very nice.
