A highly sought-after dram from the jewel of Campbeltown.
Springbank distillery is one of the last surviving producers of Campbeltown Single Malts. The distillery, located on the southern Kintyre peninsula, produces three distinct types of single malt Scotch whisky.
Springbank is one of only two distilleries in Scotland to perform every step in the whisky making process, from malting the barley to bottling the spirit, on same premises: the other is Kilchoman Distillery who also grow their own barley. While a few others still maintain the first step in the process, the malting of barley (which is becoming more rare), Springbank also bottles their own whisky.
Three variants of single malt are produced from its distillery by tweaking the production process at various stages;
Springbank Single Malt is the most popular variety, Longrow Single Malt is a highly-peated, double-distilled whisky and Hazelburn Single Malt, the newest variety.
Please note, being sold from a private collection.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A familiar sea salt element introduces this whisky, with the sherry influence then coming through in notes of dried fruits, raisins, dates and an earthiness on the nose..
Palate: Velvetey and smooth on the palate, there are initial notes of liquorice, ginger and prunes, with sticky caramel and vanilla as it opens up.
Finish: Notes of black forest gateaux, fruits of the forest and bramble provide a rich conclusion to this dram.
