Description

This official Springbank single malt, a 10 year old Campbeltown malt from 2013 and bottled at 55%. The outturn was 10200 bottles. Springbank is a Campbeltown distillery run by J and A Mitchell since 1828, one of the last working distilleries of old Campbeltown. Uniquely in Scotch, every drop is floor malted, distilled, matured and bottled on the one site.

It was floor malted, lightly peated and distilled two and a half times, and run into cast iron worm tubs. A refill American oak cask held it, keeping the distillery character to the fore. Younger here, it keeps a vigorous, briny freshness over the oily body. Sea air works into the warehouses, lending a saline thread as the whisky breathes. A 1940s Porteus mill and an open iron mash tun are part of the old setup. The Mitchell family has held the distillery for five generations. The town and the sea run through every cask of the make.

Undiluted at 55%, it is intense. An oily, maritime character with light peat are layered with vanilla, cream and light coconut. It is deep and complex, the maritime spirit shining through. A long, oily, coastal finish lingers. This is the cult Campbeltown malt from J and A Mitchell.
