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.
This is a whisky you can spend time with. At first, salty, sour, vinegar peat, but add a few drops of water (not too much), let it breathe, the sourness and turn into salty floral peat, amazing, with the key characteristics of a bourbon cask! Amazing craft-orientated distillery!
This is my first and only campbeltown whisky I've been able to find so far and it is awesome.Starts out fiery and oaky with hints of leather and seaweed.Very tangy and exciting also quite well rounded has all the things I like about scotch in one bottle. If other campbeltown's taste like this I want them in my collection this is good stuff. The Sugarbear
The fact that springbank distillery still is the only one in the country that still carries out 100% of the whisky making process was enough to make me give it a go. to the nose smells of orange peel and slight peat. to the palate lovely smokiness ,vanilla and touch of sea salt. excellent buy
My brother-in-law loves it...
When I first opened bottle it wasn't anything special, but in week, when it I drank few drams it transfomed to very complex and delicius whisky. Very distincitive and interesting!
