I am not a huge peat fan and need to be in the mood for it, but Springbank is a more balanced peat than Islay, for example. Not as potent and more smokey than medicinal in my opinion. I have the local barley and it is delicious. Mine is a 9 year, but I am sure the 8 year is amazing as well. Enjoy them in good health and please let us know what you think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local barleys are good, but they're not really available at retail for me, only tater prices. I still have some the first runs of 10, 15 and 16 years olds from year ago stashed away I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticed my 15 has a bunch of sediment in it. Not necessarily a bad thing from my experience. How about yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about yours? I checked mine and yes it does have quite a bit of sediment. The 8 has some but not as much as the 15. I found my 10 and it has just a tiny bit if you flop the bottle upside down. I have a 12CS somewhere but can't locate it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually cracked open the Springbank 15 Yr last night and took it for a spin. It was excellent, as good as advertised. I did an impromptu SBS with my already opened Kilkerran 12 Yr that I picked up in London in 2019 as a trip souvenir. As much as I loved the sherry influence on the Springer 15, I have to admit I was a bit surprised (disappointed?) that it lacks that "industrial machine oil" note that the Kilkerran has. I need to open my Kilkerran 16 yr soon, to continue my research... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
