Tasting Notes

Nose

Powerful — dunnage funk, toasted hazelnuts, freshly turned earth. Green apple skin, fresh melon and red berries. Bourbon sweetness of lemon drizzle cake, brown sugar and fizzy cola bottles. Toffee and caramel beneath. A nose that could occupy an entire evening.

Palate

Explosive — salted caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, dark chocolate, cinnamon. Lots of dry earth and twigs showing off the underlying peat smoke. The 2.5 times distillation gives it that characteristic Springbank weight and texture. At 57.2%, magnificent intensity.

Finish

Long and warming — dried fruits, salted caramel and soft peat smoke. Hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of oak tannins. The maritime brine threads through everything.

Expert Review

8.5/10

Batch 25 of Springbank's celebrated annual cask strength — 70% bourbon, 30% sherry at 57.2%, with the full force of Campbeltown maritime character.
