Details
MAX 2 PER PERSON
Released in August 2017 and now in new packaging.
Springbank Distilley is the oldest independent, family-owned distillery in Scotland. Legal distillation began in 1828. The chairman is Hedley Wright, the great, great grandson of John Mitchell, the first legal distiller of Springbank whisky. There are a few S cottish distilleries that still malt their own barley but Springbank is the only distillery which malts 100% of its own barley, using the traditional floor maltings.
The whole production process: malting, milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation and bottling, happens on the one site in Campbeltown. This is unique in Scotland.
This cask strength addition is a whopping 56.5%
Tasting notes...
Nose -
A richness of maraschino cherries, wild
berries and boiled fruit sweets combine with
softer notes of fruit and nut chocolate, almond
ice cream and watermelon to give a warm
and pleasant introduction to this twelve year
old dram.
Palate -
The gentle nature of the palate does not hint
that this is a cask strength whisky with
Viennese whirls, milk chocolate, cantuccini
biscuit, walnut whip present alongside cloves,
almonds and syrup.
Finish -
Salted caramel, gentle smoke and dunnage
warehouse notes influence this true
Campbeltown malt, while coffee bean, clotted
cream, hazelnut and liquorice all add a further
dimension to this superb dram ensuring you
return for a refill.
