"The latest limited release of 21 year old Springbank has been matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks. Sherry and bourbon notes are well integrated on the early nose, which follows up with succulent tropical fruits, toffee, and a whiff of earthy peat. The palate is complex, confident, and oily, with dry sherry notes, almonds, figs, vanilla, wood smoke, and a hint of the sea. The lengthy finish boasts caramel, cinnamon, brine, and soft peat." 90/100, Whisky Advocate
With its warm golden glow, Springbank's 21-year-old is inviting, creamy and offers unbelievable complexity. The maritime influences uncovered in this single malt will take you on a journey to its Campbeltown home.
A creamy delight on the nose. Toffee and cereal notes interspersed with bursts of freshly picked strawberries and ripe watermelon. Robust and steadfast with a dry, creamy oiliness on the palate. Sugared almonds are heavily present as well as a dash of cinnamon. The finish is creamy with an evolving length which coats the mouth and finally gives up its peaty origins.
Springbank Description
The rare 21 year old offering is currently the oldest OB from the special distillery on the tip of the Kintyre peninsula. We received our final allocation for 2015 of nearly 18 bottles and we won't expect another batch until late in 2016. No distillery in Scotland is more distinct or authentic than Springbank. They continue to make exceptional whisky by hand in the traditional manner, while all of their competitors have switched to much more efficient and cost-effective automated production. Without a doubt Springbank stands out as being the only distillery in Scotland using 100% of their own floor-maltings, fermenting the barley naturally, and distilling with a direct fire element.
