This is the first release of Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength for 2018.
These releases are always a treat, showing off the powerful flavour profile of Springbank's malt brilliantly.
This time, the Campbeltown distillery have deviated from their usual cask recipe, drawing 50% of the whisky from bourbon casks and 50% from sherry casks with previous editions having been aged in 30% bourbon casks and 70% sherry casks.
Springbank distillery is one of the oldest independent, family owned distillery in Scotland.
There are few Scottish distilleries that still malt their own barley, but Springbank is the only distillery which malts 100% of its own barley, using traditional floor maltings.
Nose: Old fir trees - pine needles. Just like when you’re cleaning up all the old pine needles from your Christmas tree. Werther’s original sweets, digestive biscuits, heather and honey.
Palate: Rich & malty; Milk chocolate, honey, creme brûlée and caramel shortcake.Then sandal wood shavings with typical Springbank coastal notes of sea salt and brine.
Finish: Fruit notes with lemon zest, orange and hints of ginger.
