Springbank 10 years - 2023 Edition (Bottle code 23/159)

Springbank 10 years is an iconic single malt from Campbeltown, one of the most beloved whisky regions among enthusiasts. This whisky is crafted entirely in-house, using a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The result is a complex and layered whisky that perfectly balances sweetness, smokiness, and maritime influences. With its characteristic oily texture and subtle peat smoke, this is a whisky that appeals to both beginners and seasoned aficionados.

Tasting note

Nose

Fresh notes of citrus, green apple, and pear blend beautifully with hints of vanilla and honey. Light peat smoke and a maritime salinity add extra depth to the nose.

Taste

A rich and creamy texture with flavors of malt, caramel, and dried fruit. The subtle peat smoke lingers in the background, complemented by nutmeg, clove, and a hint of pepper.

Finish

Long and elegant, with lingering notes of oak, gentle smoke, and a soft, salty undertone that rounds out the experience perfectly.

Springbank distillery

Springbank Distillery is located in Campbeltown, a historic whisky region on Scotland's Kintyre Peninsula. Founded in 1828 by the Mitchell family, it is one of the oldest independent distilleries in Scotland and one of the few remaining distilleries in Campbeltown, once known as the "whisky capital of the world."

Springbank Distillery is unique in its complete control over the production process, with all steps - from malting to bottling - taking place on one site. The distillery produces three different single malt whiskies: Springbank, Hazelburn and Longrow.

Springbank whisky is lightly peated and partially triple-distilled, creating a complex and rich flavour profile with notes of fruit, saltiness and a subtle smokiness. Hazelburn is unpeated and triple-distilled, making it a smooth, delicate whisky with light, sweet and malty notes. Longrow is heavily peated and double-distilled, resulting in a robust and smoky whisky with rich, earthy flavours.

The diversity in production methods and flavour profiles makes Springbank Distillery a unique and valued player in the whisky world.
