This installment of Springbank Local Barley was distilled entirely from barley grown at nearby Campbeltown-based Glencraigs Farm. Matured in a combo of 60% bourbon and 40% sherry casks and bottled at a satisfying 54.1% ABV, this one ought to get the Springbank fans excited.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
On the nose, this whisky is packed full of fruitiness, ripened bananas, boiled sweets and cinnamon.
Initially, the thick, chewy and oily texture of this whisky is evident. From there, we get a peppery and malty note, then strawberries, brandy schnapps and parma violets.
Into the finish there’s subtle peat smoke hiding in the background, wine gums sweetness, toasted oats, dunnage earthiness and a slight drying taste.
