Whisky Whiskey 167: Springbank 18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

11 February, 2026

CURRENT

For the final Springbank I’m reviewing in this series, I thought it would good to dive into all the little things people don’t think about, that Springbank ALSO do on their physical site…like making their own barrels and bottling, to name a few.

Duration 11 minutes and 46 seconds
