A 10-year-old expression of Springbank's peated Longrow single malt here. The Campbeltown whisky was initially matured in bourbon barrels for seven years, followed by a lengthy three-year finish in refill South African malbec wine barriques. Bottled at a cask strength of 52.5% ABV.
This bottle was part of a private collection and will show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
A subtle coastal hint lays underneath heaps of red fruit, with cherry and currants alongside old leather.
More red fruit, this time more tart, with plum skin and wafts of coastal peat smoke, and spiced orchard fruit.
Red grape and cherry jam lingers on a smouldering, smoky finish.
