I've told the story of the 2800 miles of driving on winding narrow roads and through some of the most spectacular Scottish scenery and history so I won't repeat it. I know you want to hear about the Springbank 15, a whisky that is so popular and yet so controversial and then so hard to find. What is it about the 15 that gets so many reviews that can be all over the place. It is certainly a more complex whisky that might not suit everyone's palate and can be prone to Sulphur but that's no different than some other popular whiskies we know. So why have I NOT had a negative experience with Springbank? Is it my higher tolerance to Sulphur or have I just been lucky?
The added a piece of video from my tour of the U.K. in the center of this review is called "Some Random Bits of Our Scotland Tour". It has also been shortened. This was collected from the tour and put together like a mosaic. It is just a glimpse of our trip travelling through England but mostly Scotland. JUST SCROLL PAST IT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO WATCH IT.
Springbank has become an enigma in recent years because the whisky is so hard to find. The other whiskies that Springbank produces, Longrow and Hazelburn are also hard to get. Kilkerran it seems is a little easier to find in Canada but that will probably not last. So you would think that the most sought after whisky in Scotland would cost a fortune but the distillery does not have exorbitant prices. It is the flippers and secondary market that jacks up the price. The issue with Springbank is they do not produce enough whisky for the global demand.
The following day after the tour I got to the distillery a couple hours early to be at the front of the lineup and it paid off. I got my Springbank 15, and a Longrow Palo Cortado cask strength. I had the Springbank fourteen and some sample bottles of the Hazelburn Twelve as well as the Springbank Ten. There are very few bottles that are available each day at the distillery (or anywhere else including Springbank's Cadenheads). Some of the unhappy people in the line up behind me did not get a bottle.
So was this Fifteen worth waiting in line for? Let's find out. Enjoy the video. Slàinte Mhath
