Springbank 15 Year Old Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2024) 70cl

Like a storm gathering off the Kintyre coast, our 15 year old Springbank is dark and ominous, but delicious. Best enjoyed after dinner or with your favourite cigar, this is a true classic. Fragrant and rich, Springbank 15 Year Old has lots of sherry notes as well as plenty of fruity notes and some sweet caramel. The palate is full bodied and quite rich, with lots of creaminess and more tropical fruits. There are also hints of oak and spices.

TASTING NOTES

Nose

Springbank’s gentle giant. This dram is big and bold with notes of cured meat, barbecued beef jerky, clove, mint, iodine, oxo cube and tinned prunes all evident from the Oloroso cask maturation, while lobster creels hint at Springbank’s characteristic maritime influence.

Palate

The peaty character is now evident with sooty kiln smoke and tobacco leaves prominent in this viscous tipple alongside prunes, walnuts, figs, Demerara sugar, cocoa powder and smoked meats.

Finish

The finish grows and develops with notes of soot, leather and walnuts prominent before easing off like the ebbing tide over one of Kintyre’s pebble beaches.
