The use of locally sourced barley not only supports the surrounding agricultural community but also imparts a distinctive character to the whisky, making each sip a journey through the heart of Campbeltown.
Upon pouring a glass, you are greeted by a luminous golden hue, a prelude to the depth and complexity that awaits. The nose is an inviting bouquet of fresh orchard fruits, mingling harmoniously with hints of honey, vanilla, and a subtle smokiness. These initial aromas are underpinned by a delicate layer of maritime notes, a signature characteristic of Springbank whiskies, evoking the briny sea air of the Kintyre Peninsula.
The first sip reveals a symphony of flavors that unfold gracefully on the palate. The 10 years of maturation in oak casks have imbued the whisky with a balanced profile, where the sweetness of malted barley is beautifully complemented by nuances of dried fruits, caramel, and a whisper of peat smoke. Mid-palate, you’ll discover a delightful interplay of spice and citrus zest, adding complexity and depth to the tasting experience. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of oak, spice, and a gentle smokiness that invites you to take another sip.
