Whisky Reviews for Springbank 1996 HB

5 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 87.07 points

  1. larswehmeier scored this whisky 83 points Connoisseur

    Spicy herbaceous sherry. Something maggi.
    Mouth-filling creamy. A bit tart on the finish.
    In Sume very intense. Will be very dry on the finish.
    Works in spite of the old age still impetuous and a bit wild.
    That's exciting for me.

  2. FritzeKrautman scored this whisky 88 points Connoisseur

    A really nice, fruity malt that comes across as fresh and youthful despite its 17 years of age. If the finish had been a little longer, it would have made it into my top selection of the year.

      Briefly solvent, then citrus, pepper, pineapple. Vanilla, cooling mint and nut chocolate. Over time, toasted bread, herbs and a hint of sulfur.
    • Taste
      87 87
      Sweet start, then quickly becomes spicy. Apples, honey and malt. Again briefly citrus fruit. The alcohol is pretty well integrated.
    • Finish
      87 87
      Blackberries, passion fruit, oak with a bit of bitterness. Unfortunately, the finish is a bit too short.

  4. seanswhisky scored this whisky 91 points Newbie

    Exceptional cask strength SB. Full of the typical SB profile =, wrapped with some tart sweetness. Incredible pour.

  5. WhiskyBjorn83 scored this whisky 72 points Expert Senior

    02-06-2017: this bottling couldn't not convince me; heard many good things about Springbank so I'll be on the look out for a different one.
