Welcome back for another Springbank, this time none other than everyone's favorite release the 12 CS. This bad boy comes in at 57.2% abv and while only a 30% sherry and 70% bourbon mix batch 25 comes in with a thunderous sherry punch.

Hi Mike and Dustin Happy to see you enjoy your springbank 12year old cask strength, I just bought 4 bottles of the the 12cs and 2 bottles of the 15year old,I walked out the door for $400.00 US dollars for 4 bottles, springbank is getting easier to get where I live, for some reason, before last year it was almost impossible to find, and they were still on 2 cases of the 12year old and the 15year old, I'm not sure if springbank is doing something different or not, because it has always been difficult to find anywhere around me, I have had a hard time just to find the 10year old about every year or 2,and I always try and buy what they have in stock, and as you know springbank is very reasonably priced where I live. They're not putting there juice in boxes anymore and there the only whisky's that's now 700 ml.I hope it don't get the to where all distilleries do the same thing, because there cheating us out of whiskey, I don't mind if springbank does it because it is rare to find, but not as a whole if you know what I mean !! Thanks for the great review on springbank, I was sipping on the same thing but 2022 release 12year old cs !!!!😊❤

@topshelfdustin3060 13 дней назад
@@troublesome89 if I had a bar pour and was plush with funds...I might do 300. It's really that good. I've had worse 400 dollar bottles to be fair. I just hate paying that much over retail. If it were just on quality it might be north of that 300 number, but not a lot. I blinded the last 2 US batches with this one, and oddly...I picked it last on first pass through. By the 3rd pass through I'd moved it to first and was starting to think it was lapping them. It's an exceptional pour for a springbank fan. As others have noted, you do need to enjoy a sweeter profile and less earthy and oak forward one. I do! Though I'm not against the oak or earthy notes.

You know...my biggest regret when I got into springbank was I had no idea about their batch variation. So I'd buy bottles, drink them, never thought about backups or vintages. So I never took notes until really mike and I started doing the channel. Mike wasn't the first but he really turned me on to the concept of years and vintages in general. Now i knew springbank mixed things up, but I always assumed it was to get back to a profile, not to give us new things each time. So I'm not really able to remember back. The old black box 12's had some absolute bangers. Of the modern stuff this is up there. The 57.1 which had this awesome vanilla note is up there. The last release before this that we did was great.

I now understand why you didn't really like batch 23. This batch 25 is far too sweet for me. Not too far from the last HB 15 oloroso you're right. And I didn't like it as much as the previous 15, much drier and sour. If batch 23 was a solid 89, this one would be 87 only because it is not my favorite profile.
