Springbank 10 has dawned with a new look and packaging, yet remains timeless in its essence. As the very embodiment of the Springbank Distillery's dedication to fine whisky crafting in Campbeltown, this 10-year-old spirit serves as an ideal gateway to the broader Springbank portfolio.
Drawing from the richness of both sherry and bourbon casks, the Springbank 10 finds its identity in this dual maturation. The interplay between the two barrels gifts the whisky its nuanced characteristics — a complexity that makes it stand out and a balance that makes it incredibly inviting.
Nose: Opening with an invigorating note of vibrant cereals, this flagship dram from Springbank introduces itself confidently. Undertones of fresh gooseberries, ripe mangoes, and fragrant vanilla pods form a delightful bouquet. Drizzled honey over a honeycomb, alongside a subtle hint of grapes, adds a sweetness that perfectly complements the initial freshness.
Palate: A delightful continuation from the nose, the palate indulges in a rich tapestry of flavors. The grainy essence of oatmeal and malted barley, reminiscent of sun-soaked fields of Campbeltown, dances harmoniously with the zesty punch of orange pulp. As the experience deepens, warming sensations of heather honey, hard toffee, nutmeg, and cinnamon emerge, providing a spicy contrast and further complexity.
Finish: Culminating in a finish that's both enduring and gratifying, the Springbank 10 leaves a gentle kiss of sea salt — a nod to its maritime heritage and the shores of Campbeltown.
Springbank 10 is not just another whisky; it's a narrative of the land, the traditions, and the meticulous craftsmanship of the Springbank Distillery. Whether you're a seasoned whisky aficionado or embarking on your whisky journey, this dram promises an experience that resonates with the heart and lingers on the palate. A glass of Springbank 10 is a toast to timeless excellence and the spirit of Campbeltown.
