Springbank reviews

The 12 years old Cask Strength releases from Springbank are very popular and rightfully so. They are great, each and every one of them. The first batch appeared in 2010, in 2020 the 21st batch was lau…

I was fortunate to try this Private Bottling a few weeks ago in a fabulous tasting with Michiel Wigman and Jeroen Koetsier. So once it became available to the public, I hurried to secure a bottle. It’s…

Here is another one of those ‘duty paid’ samples that you can only get at the distillery itself. This time it’s a Springbank 2003 brought home in 2016. It was part of the by now infamous Christmas Tas…
