Today we’re taking an in-depth look at the Whisky Foundation exclusive Springbank 24 Year Old by The Maltman. This beautiful single malt is one that is close to our hearts, as the first ever bottle to feature on our whisky stock market, The Reserve. If you’ve not yet hear of The Reserve, where have you […]
