Springbank 23, 1995-2018, 48% – WhiskyNerds

Posted on 26 November 2018 by

It’s not been two weeks since I did the previous review of a WhiskyNerds bottling. That Lagavulin 21 was amazing, and hot on the heels of that one comes a fresh sherry matured, 23 year old Springbank. Their Lagavulin scoreed … Continue reading →

BTC Sample 18: Tobermory 20, 1995-2015, 54.7%, Rest & Be Thankful
