Springbank 17 Year Old Sherry Wood

This 17 Year Old Springbank matured solely on sherry casks and was bottled at cask strength.

Clearly Springbank with its typical mineral traits and soft...

So it is best to compare it to casks 385 and 386, which was distilled the week before (20th November 1998). Again a whole lot of berries on the nose, but this...
