Campbeltown was once home to a great number of distilleries, though now it is down to just a handful. Springbank is one of those remaining distilleries, and its whiskies are very well-regarded indeed. This is an indie bottling of Springbank, aged for 26 years and bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company. The label features Springbank's Porteus mill being worked by none other than Neil and Joel off of World's Best Spirits! Chop chop, chaps! Get rid of all those husks!
Batch 10 is a release of 219 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Through plenty of typical Springbank funk, there’s salted peanuts, black olives and juicy peach and plum. Notes of sweet tobacco, smoked fish and redcurrant all appear underneath among wood char and dry roasted spices.
Mulch, leafy herbs and cardamom make way for bright citrus elements, sticky date-like sweetness and fresh ginger. There’s a hint here of granary bread with salted butter and Nutella.
Coal smoke, slightly meaty malt, oily walnut and a touch of dried cherry.
A terrific whisky that’s an example of what makes Springbank great.
