The 2024 edition of Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength remains a firm favourite, boasting a composition of 70% whisky aged in bourbon barrels and 30% in sherry casks. This batch reveals a robust and untamed character, typical of Springbank. It presents a rich tapestry of flavours, including sherried prunes, almonds, and brown sugar, accented by lighter notes of vanilla and apples, all woven together with the distillery's characteristic industrial smokiness. This expression is renowned for its oily, rich, and fruity profile, capturing the essence of the celebrated Campbeltown distillery with a subtle hint of smoke.
Tasting Notes by Springbank:
Nose: This year's 12 year old cask strength kicks off with notes of marzipan, smoked meats and a smokiness akin to burnt matches.
Palate: The palate introduces soft peat smoke and notes of morello cherries and aniseed, accompanied by a creamy mouthfeel reminiscent of custard creams.
Finish: The coastal influence emerges in the finish in notes of brine, oil and salted caramel, along with the endurance of the peat smoke.
