Springbank 18 years

Score: 74

Springbank 18 is a Campbeltown classic with quiet authority. Matured entirely in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46% ABV, it leans into tropical fruit, honeyed granola, and coastal malt with a touch of sea salt and gorse on the finish. The texture is creamy, the oak is well-integrated, and the signature Springbank funk is mellowed but still present. It’s not a dram that shouts—it lingers, with depth and poise. One for slow evenings and thoughtful pours. CLUB TASTING NOTES "Complex notes dancing on the tongue yowzaah💪 " "Rich but light nose, tasty, hints of vanilla, white pepper on the finish / Coconut scent under a banana tree" "Like a redhead that knows, this one keeps you hungry all day with the nose. But this ain't no tease, in fact the fruit and the delivery rightfully makes you open up your sexuality and welcome all comers, finishing with an extended chorus of breakfast fruits and jam."
