Springbank 12 Years Old

This official Springbank single malt, aged 12 year old and bottled at 43%. Springbank has distilled in Campbeltown since 1828, Campbeltown's most revered surviving distillery. Hedley Wright's family has kept the distillery independent for the best part of two centuries.

It was given the part triple distillation unique to Springbank, and condensed in traditional worm tubs. An ex-Bourbon barrel shaped it, gentle American oak beneath the spirit. By this age the maritime weight rounds into a richer, fuller malt. Everything is done on site, the spirit going from still to cask to bottle in Campbeltown. Quality and tradition, not volume, have always been the watchwords here. The spirit is filled to cask and matured within the distillery walls. Few distilleries keep so much of the old craft alive under one roof. Campbeltown was once the whisky capital of the world, with more than thirty distilleries at its peak.

At 43% it is clean and characterful. An oily, maritime character with light peat are layered with creamy vanilla and oak sweetness. Beneath it run oily fruit, salt and a coastal depth. It finishes deep, complex and maritime. This is the flagship malt of old Campbeltown.
