Springbank 12 Year Old Burgundy Wood 2016 Single Malt Whisky - 70cl 53.5%

Springbank distillery is the oldest independent, family owned distillery in Scotland.

There are a few Scottish distilleries that still malt their own barley but Springbank is the only distillery which malts 100% of its own barley, using the traditional floor maltings.

The whole production process, malting, milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation and bottling happens on the one site in Campbeltown which is unique in Scotland.

Three malt whiskies are produced at Springbank distillery, each with it's own character.

Springbank which is 80% of production, is lightly peated and distilled two and a half times whereas Longrow is more heavily peated and distilled two times. Hazelburn, unpeated and distilled a number of 3 times completes the three.

Nose: Bold and rich with mineral and dunnage warehouse notes combining with maple syrup, pancetta, cranberry and red currants.

Palate: A soft velvet like texture with buttered brown toast and chocolate shortbread complimenting lighter herb and oak notes.

Finish: A medium dry finish which gives off liquorice and mint accompanied woody tannins.
