Tasting Notes

Nose

Sweet and spicy — honeycomb, citrusy tropical tang, dunnage funk, soft smoke and oak spice. Peach, mango, pineapple. Maritime sea spray, rubbery smoke and warehouse funk add the Campbeltown twist.

Palate

Soft and oily — honeycomb, pineapple sweetness and zest. Milk chocolate, marzipan and gentle woodsmoke. Rich salted caramel with plenty of fruit — peach, pineapple, strawberry. Citrus peel, ginger and mild peat smoke.

Finish

Sweet oak and gentle ginger spice linger, with a distinct tobacco leaf and cigar-like smoke as the lasting note.

Springbank 10 Year Old is the entry point to Scotland's most traditional distillery — and for many whisky drinkers, it's all the Springbank they need. Matured in 60% bourbon casks and 40% sherry casks, 2.5 times distilled with floor-malted, lightly peated barley, bottled at 46% without chill filtration or colouring. Every detail screams integrity.

The 2024 release maintains the standard. The Campbeltown funk — that distinctive maritime, dunnage quality — is front and centre, accompanied by tropical fruit, honeycomb and gentle smoke. The 2.5 times distillation gives the spirit its characteristic weight, sitting between the lightness of triple distillation and the heaviness of double.

If you're into Campbeltown funk, Springbank 10 is a no-brainer. Complex enough for whisky enthusiasts, fun enough to drink casually, and priced fairly for a whisky of this quality and provenance. The essential Campbeltown malt, and one of Scotland's most consistently excellent ten-year-old whiskies.
