LAST BOTTLE
Yet another stunning addition to our very own Single Cask Series - this time, it's a 21 year old single malt from the Springbank distillery in the Campbeltown region. This whisky was distilled in November 1996 and matured for 21 years in a Madeira wine butt until we bottled it up at cask strength in May 2018. A generally massive whisky which we're very proud of indeed.
Through aromas of bitter marmalade, blueberries and earthy malt comes ginger in syrup and Werther’s Originals. Salted gammon and salami tones emerge with thick BBQ char and burnt festive spice creating a meaty, smoky undertone.
Black fruits, dark chocolate and toasted nut appear initially. The spice is more refined, with aromatic cinnamon, among some wood smoke. Tanned leather, mulch and oaky tannins blend with liquorice and old Chartreuse underneath supplying the classic funky distillery character.
Dry, earthy and with a touch of salinity and jammy dried fruit.
Springbank fans know what they like – and this is it. Don’t pass it up.
