Tasting Notes
Nose: The sherry influence is immediately apparent on the nose in notes of medjool dates, raisins and demerara sugar. Notes of blueberry, fondant icing, lemon drizzle and fig jam provide a welcoming introduction to this dram.
Palate: There is a creaminess on the palate with notes of cappuccino foam and tiramisu. Muddled strawberries, Christmas cake, marzipan and cinnamon notes add to this well-rounded dram.
Finish: A sweet and juicy finish with notes of syrup and sugared shortbread.
Maturation: 65% Sherry, 20% Bourbon, 15% Rum
Springbank Distillery
Springbank distillery is the oldest independent, family-owned distillery in Scotland. Legal distillation began in 1828. The chairman is Hedley Wright, the great, great grandson of John Mitchell, the first legal distiller of Springbank whisky.
There are a few Scottish distilleries that still malt their own barley but Springbank is the only distillery which malts 100% of its own barley, using the traditional floor maltings. The whole production process: malting, milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation and bottling, happens on the one site in Campbeltown. This is unique in Scotland.
Three malt whiskies are produced at Springbank distillery, each with its own character. Springbank which is 80% of production, is lightly peated and distilled two and a half times. Longrow is more heavily peated and distilled two times. Hazelburn is unpeated and distilled three times.
