Interested in new whisky releases? Then take a look at our Whisky Blog.
Springbank Distillery is the only distillery in Scotland to carry out 100% of the production process on one site. For them, this means unrivalled quality control and the opportunity to pour decades of experience and passion into every drop of their world-class whisky.
The latest edition of Springbank's Local Barley series has been made exclusively from barley grown at Glencraigs Farm in Campbeltown. Matured in Bourbon (60%) and Sherry (40%) casks, this whisky is packed with sticky, sweet fruity notes. Expect an oily texture with notes of pepper and malt, finishing with a wine gum sweetness and a subtle peat smoke.
Please note that due to a new industry-leading environmental approach by Springbank Distillery, this bottling will no longer come with an outer tube or carton.

Tasting Notes
Nose: On the nose, this whisky is packed full of fruitiness, ripened bananas, boiled sweets and cinnamon.
Palate: Initially, the thick, chewy and oily texture of this whisky is evident. From there, we get a peppery and malty note, then strawberries, brandy schnapps and parma violets.
Finish: Into the finish there’s subtle peat smoke hiding in the background, wine gum sweetness, toasted oats, dunnage earthiness and a slight drying taste.
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.
