Longrow 21: oily and rounded with light peat, orange peel and dried fruit, worn leather, and a gentle incense-like finish. Minimal oak grip and almost no alcohol bite. A faint industrial note on the arrival that settled into aromatic smoke. Late-blooming aromatics, but the profile is more elegant than craveable. Glad I tried it. I wouldn’t chase a bottle. — 8 months ago

2019 edition, Campbeltown used whisky drawn from both Port casks and rum casks - 45% came from Port casks while the remaining 55% was drawn from rum casks. Distillery's note: "Nose: A delightful fruitiness bursts through; watermelon, strawberry laces, brambles and blueberries followed by crushed vanilla pods and glazed cherries. Taste: Chocolate covered oranges and Caramel shortcake! Deliciously full bodied, with tropical fruit squash, gingerbread and dried mango. Finish: A captivating Campbeltown Malt; sea salt, oily and fruity. Lemon sherbet, whipped cream, apple peel and salted pretzels complete this beautiful dram!" — 7 years ago

Enjoyed on winter solstice - shortest day of 2015. Like a summer breeze. Fresh mown grass, hay. Such a surprise for an 18 year old whisky. — 11 years ago

I like Springbank to start but then that bandaid aroma I get in the background starts to wear on me. I feel like the finishes hide it a bit but then I start picking it up. Out of the chute I was like man I like this. It’s punchy, rich and flavorful but then I start going hmmm what’s that smell? — a year ago

As compared to 10 yr, more cooked fruit from ex-sherry casks, milder peat. Richer with great finish. Love it. — 9 years ago

This has a decent amount of peat on it. Rich with some punch. I’m liking this a lot but it’s almost an after dinner drink as opposed to before. 7yr Bourbon Barrel, 4yr fresh Tawny Port Barrels 57.5% — 3 years ago

Briney with a sweet sherry toffee edge that isn’t cloying because of Springbank complexity can take it. Very interesting. — 8 years ago

Burnt caramel, fruit cake, brine, vegetal perhaps, wood, malt, and a good dose of smoke. Thanks to GC for this amazing drop!

Note: High Spirits is an Italian independent bottler owned by Ferdinando (Nadi) Fiori, which specialises in single cask single malts bottled at cask strength. This bottling is part of the Loch and Castles of Scotland series (No 4 of 18), sporting some beautiful old prints of the subject-in-question on the front label. Incidentally, bottle no 4 of 326 (and 18 mags). Distilled 1995, bottled 2005. Ex-port cask. Springbank Distillery, Campbeltown.

From the whisky whiz KL's IG, although I didn't exactly get the same notes (much to learn here; KL tasted the exact same bottle): A very unique nose. Quite vegetal, capsicum, with a touch of smoke. Rather tight. Palate is sweet and syrupy, vegetal, earthy, and malty. Left to open in the glass for 10 to 15 min, and that's when the magical Springbank character appeared. Beautiful and elegant. Lots of port character. — 9 years ago
