A fabulous 10 year old Springbank, matured in bourbon casks as well as sherry casks, adding a wonderful depth of flavour. Slightly peated, it marries a complex mixture of maritime notes as well as a fresh and fruity balance. The definition of a Campbeltown classic.
The nose offers up plenty of oak, exotic spices, guava, heather honey and soft smoke.
A full, sweet, creamy palate with hints of smoke, marzipan and cigar boxes.
A smoky finish, trailing off on sweet cider and toasty barley.

I always check the bottling information and Springbank print the batch number near the bottom of the bottle. I saw an older bottling on the market and the batch number is “10Y/O SRINGBANK 15/40”. Note that I the “P” was missing from the Springbank, and there was no date, too. I am afraid that more fake bottles are on the market now. Pay attention!
It’s always nice to try a whiskey you have never tasted, and this was a really nice surprise,
Great nose! Complex and interesting/unique compared to what I have tried before. Palate was less exciting however still a delicious whisky! Thick creamy mouth feel all in all an all round good sipper which doesnt need any special occasion to enjoy.
Wonderful flavoursome whisky. A real treat for a more experienced palate. I would recommend to anyone who’s looking to explore away from the usual suspects/regions.
Harsh finish
