Here we have an independent bottling of Springbank, bottled by - hold on a minute - it's bottled by us! It began its life in May 1993, and was then left in a single bourbon hogshead for the next 25 years. After a quarter of a decade, we bottled it up in November 2018 for our Single Cask series, at 51% ABV. An absolutely stunning dram from Campbeltown.
Salami, jammy dried fruit and wood smoke, then green olives, orange bitters and blackcurrant compote. Spicy Jamaican ginger cake, marzipan and salted caramel are present underneath, with toasted nuts and heather honey.
Fruitcake, coal smoke and lime marmalade are followed by coffee-flavoured toffee, damp peat and pink grapefruit bitterness, then a distinct maritime character of saline. Meaty grilled papaya, peated maltiness and dried cherries add depth.
Nutty oiliness, pot-pourri and bitter oak char.
