Tasting note by your BTC host and whisky specialist Nils van Rijn

Warrior and Samaritan

One third of this epic blind tasting battle has been done.

Always a 90 points plus rating in our book. Springbank has become so scarce these days it isn’t even funny anymore. Prices go up directly after release and it’s sold out by the snap of a finger. Luckily we now have the chance of actually drinking this wonderful dram instead of it disappearing in an investor's collection. The Springbank Cask Strength editions are a Best Of Whiskies favourite. It’s like Connor McGregor stepping in the MMA ring and giving you an uppercut with the “ooompf factor” and then it becomes gently soft. The gently peated character suggests Campbeltown on the whisky map and rightfully so. Wax, dried fruits and there’s the kicker in de finish in the form of Oranges. Textbook Springbank!
