The exciting time is upon us when Springbank's annual Local Barley release is here! Produced from Belgravia barley grown in and around Campbeltown, this 2022 expression spent 10 years maturing entirely in bourbon barrels. We like to imagine the folks at Springbank and the farmers who grew the barley enjoying a nice dram of this and admiring their work. A release of 15,000 bottles.
Please Note: Springbank boxes are very prone to creasing and we can't promise the condition of the box wil be creaseless.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Delicate oral notes kick off this dram, along with hints of digestive biscuit and a cereal note reminiscent of the malt barns. The bourbon influence is presented in notes of vanilla custard and custard creams. A fruity, cherry note develops over time.
The vanilla note from the nose develops on the palate into flavours of sweet, creamy victoria sponge. There are hints of honey and syrup, balanced with fresh barley water.
A light and sweet finish, with hints of salted caramel to round off this dram.
