Tasting note

Nose

The nose is intense and inviting with notes of aged, smoked oak, leather, and dried fruits such as raisins and plums. There are subtle hints of honey, dark chocolate, and a touch of saltiness that highlight the maritime origin of this whisky. The aroma is framed by a deep, earthy peat smoke that beautifully interweaves with the sweeter scents.

Taste

On the palate, a complex and powerful flavor unfolds. Rich notes of dark caramel, walnut, and dried orange peel come to the forefront, along with a pronounced influence of peat and smoke. The flavor is further enhanced by warm spices like clove and a hint of tobacco. The mouthfeel is full and oily, delivering an intense and satisfying experience.

Finish

The finish is long, warming, and remarkably persistent. The peat smoke lingers beautifully, accompanied by a soft sweetness of toffee and a slight salty undertone. Hints of oak and leather remain, providing a harmonious balance and leaving a lasting impression.

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.
