This is the 2023 edition of Springbank 18.
The 2021 release of the distilleries famous 18 year old malt has been aged in a combination of 50% ex-Bourbon and 50% ex-Sherry casks.
Springbank distillery has been owned and operated by the Mitchell family in Campbeltown since 1837, and it one of Scotland's most revered distilleries. Following a brief mothballing between 1979 and 1987, upon the reopening the decision was taken to cease all sales to the blending industry and focus on its single malt sales.
Today it is one of the only distilleries to malt, distil, bottle and mature whisky on the same site, and produces three distinct and highly prized single malts.
Nose: Sweet and syrupy from the outset, the Springbank character is immediately prominent. Hints of honeycomb, treacle sponge and ginger-nut fuse with a fruity, strawberry undertone. Aromas of parma violets and raisins develop over time.
Palate: Chopped hazelnuts and liquorice predominate the subtle smokiness from the peat. The maple syrup sweetness from the nose follows through, with a touch of wild berries and blackberries.
Finish: A creamy, velvety finish with a salty note. Wood shavings, burnt embers and milk chocolate round off this malt.
