A formidable spirit from one of Campbeltown’s premium distilleries. Dried fruit, sherry, chocolate and toffee flavours all compete with peaty smokiness in this rich and full dram. Being finished in Oloroso sherry casks lend this bottling its sweetness while traditionally peated maltings of the Springbank distillery create hints of smoke and leather. Springbank is one of the only Scotch distilleries to create its whisky from start to finish, with its family owners claiming it the ‘most handmade in Scotland’. The Springbank 15-Year-Old shows the culmination of almost 200 years of whisky making.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fragrant and fruity. The sherry cask finish provides Christmas cake flavours of almond, toffee and dark chocolate. Slight oakiness comes through in the nose.

Palate: More creamy and rich flavours, marzipan and vanilla with more dark chocolate. More distinct oak and smoky leather flavours follow.

Finish: A lingering finish of peated smoke and dark chocolate bitterness.
