Springbank 10 Years Old

This Springbank, an official release, aged 10 year old and bottled at 46%. A release of 125 bottles. Springbank has distilled in Campbeltown since 1828, Campbeltown's most revered surviving distillery. Bottles are released in small batches, often through ballots to meet the demand.

It was given the part triple distillation unique to Springbank, the vapour cooled in worm tubs. It was matured in refill ex-Bourbon oak, lending vanilla and honey. Still young, the malt is oily and robust with a coastal lift. Everything is done on site, the spirit going from still to cask to bottle in Campbeltown. The distillery has become a place of pilgrimage for whisky enthusiasts. Kintyre's damp, mild climate suits a long and gentle maturation. The old town of Campbeltown once rivalled Speyside as Scotland's whisky heart. Quality and tradition, not volume, have always been the watchwords here. The spirit is filled to cask and matured within the distillery walls.

At 46% it is smooth and oily. An oily, maritime character with light peat are layered with vanilla, cream and light coconut. Soft fruit and brine sit behind the cask sweetness. It finishes deep, complex and maritime. This is a revered Campbeltown single malt.
