Springbank 25-year-old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Bottled 2014, 46.0%
Critics reviews
Fresh, fruity. Red apples, lemons and coconut.
Palate
Sustained, teasing interplay of firm, malty, sweetness and dryness-and yet more fruit. Bananas, raspberries.
Finish
Shortbread, cookies. Like the base of a fruit pie.
Comment
Springbank can sound like a fruit salad, but the whisky has a lot of authority.
Michael Jackson - Whisky Magazine Issue 34 Nose
Neat it has a fresh spray of tangerine peel. With water, more oily and mature. Notes of strawberry, quince/medlar, pine and Maltesers. All quite reserved.
Palate
Great feel. A dram which fills the mouth. Good balance between sweet and almost savoury. Orange curaçao and a sooty note.
Finish
Very light smoke.
Comment
Understated – a bit like Frank in fact.

About this SPIRIT
Springbank Distillery, Campbeltown
Campbeltown was once home to over 30 distilleries. The town had a reputation for producing high-quality whisky in the 19th century. Today, however, only three distilleries stand. Two of these, Springbank and Glengyle, are owned by J&A Mitchell and Co. The distilleries are run by the fifth generation of the Mitchell family to be involved in the distilling trade.
Springbank is the only Scottish distillery to complete 100% of its production process on-site. The team malts all their own barley using traditional floor malting methods, and much of the distillery equipment remains the same as it has always been.
Springbank is also the only distillery in Scotland to produce three malts on one site: the triple-distilled Hazelburn, the unpeated Springbank and the lightly peated Longrow.
