- Description
- Campbeltown anchors the Springbank 15 Year Old 2003 - Rum Wood with its maritime climate, giving way to 'Smokey' undertones. 'Fresh Fruit' and 'Cooked Fruit' notes weave through the dram, hinting at its complex character. At £499, this is either a steal or a gamble. Hard to say without tasting it, but the potential for 'Vanilla' and 'Honey' sweetness intrigues.
