warm smokey goodness. Its spicy, and has a medicinal note that reminds me a little of laphroaig 10, but the oak and vanilla sweetness give it a nice complexity under the smoke. I enjoyed it.

About
Springbank Distillery was founded in 1828. It is one of the last surviving producers of Campbeltown Single Malts, and one of the few remaining family owned distilleries in Scotland. Springbank Distillery produces Springbank single malt whisky, as well as the more peaty Longrow and unpeated Hazelburn single malts.IslayHaveADram says on March 30, 2019

Personally, this was a big let down. The 12 year is an all time favorite of mine. I hope the 15 would be also. For some reason the distillery cut the alcohol back from 56.5 on the 12yr, to 46 on the 15yr. It just seems to loose a lot of the intensity of flavors. I will stay with the 12 year.

General description
Rich and well rounded dram. Plenty of character, straying somewhat from the typical Campbeltown earthy/herby palate without losing the freshness. Very enjoyable.
Nose
A quite crisp fragrance. Fruity sweetness at first. Caramel and toffee. Peat builds.
Palate
Quite full and rich. There are notes of creamy fruit salad and more exotic fruit notes. Finishes with a waft of peat and spiced warmth leading into the finish.
Finish
Fairly long with a welcoming warmth.

Wonderful complex and very peaty Springbank that keeps his secret and changes a lot.
Nose
Warm woodsmoke, vanilla, sea wind, salty sweet, blueberry jumping in, hints of marzipan.
Palate
Woody and deliciously smoky, fruity side but also a leathery, dusty, woody side. Roasted walnuts.
Finish
Medium strong, oily, vanilla and an astringent, drying finish.

Very nice, a little better after sitting for a month after opened. Changes with water and time in the glass. Take your time and enjoy.
