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.
How do you find somebody who knows nothing about single malts? Scroll down to the people who don't like this. This is the benchmark for standard whiskies. There isn't a better or more complex 10 year old. Natural color and non-chill filtered. Get this one, folks and graduate to the educated malt drinkers.
Not the best taste in a whisky, to be honest tastes slightly like medicine. Similar to Laphroaig.
Welcome to Springbank! A great introduction to Campbeltown. The nose is rich and sharp, once you acclimatise however it’s all earthy dark fruits with that classic Springbank medicinal twang. The peat seems to dance around the rich costal flavours. It manages to be well rounded all the way through from lips to finish. 15/18yo make this look tame so if this is you’re cup of tea they are highly recommended!
Medicine. Just medicine. I love it. Clean mature earthy taste with fruit and eoody tones. More please.
Smooth, creamy, fruity, smoky, with notes of caramel and wood.
