Description
18 Year Old Springbank. A multi-award-winning Campbeltown single malt matured in 80% ex-Sherry casks and 20% ex-bourbon casks. At one time, Campbeltown was once known as the Whisky Capital of the World; as there were more than 30 active distilleries on the small peninsula of Kintyre in Southwestern Scotland. There are now just three. The 18 Year old expression from one of those distilleries, Springbank, is predominately aged in ex sherry wood with the remainder aged in ex bourbon barrels.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich and creamy, developing into vanilla, ripe fruits, marzipan followed by hints of sherbet, almonds and strawberries.
Palate: Thick and oily, fruity and mellow; gives way to a sweet liquorice and aniseed flavour as it opens up.
Finish: Sweet and chocolatey with some coconut, the finish is long and consistent with a pleasant smokey tingle.
