Springbank reviews

In 2017 I moved from the first house my wife, children and I lived in together to our current home, which we bought from my mother when she moved into a condo. It’s a great house to grow up in, on a…

I like Springbank. I originally bought a 12 YO CS and a 12 YO Claret wood early in my whisky journey and I was not too impressed. After about a year in the back of my cabinet I “rediscovered” it. At…
