Springbank 15YO

https://youtu.be/PvBE1hE6AE8

There isn’t much to really say about something as classic as this, is there? Well, this is the first bottle of Springbank 15 year old that I’ve ever owned, thanks in part to Andy and our little bottle splits! He wasn’t a fan of this, so I’ve safely taken it off his hands.

Matured in what I assume is mostly sherry, perhaps with a splash of ex-bourbon cask in there as well. It’s somewhat if the classic Springbank profile: chocolate, dates, plums, a little touch of sherry and then some of those funkier more industrial notes pulling through towards the end of the profile.

What I am looking for are recommendations to alternatives to this bottle. I’ll no doubt finish this quite soon as I’m really enjoying it – but apart from the usual comparison of Benromach, what else is there that gets lose to this very famous profile?
