Springbank 10 Year Old PX Cask Matured 2022 Release 55%

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: An unmistakable Sherry influence presents itself from the beginning, with rich notes of date syrup and raisins kicking off this full-bodied dram.

Taste: A tannic, spicy element is introduced in the palate, along with notes of cola cubes, cherry menthol, cinnamon and caramel. The typical Springbank characteristics hold their own against the heavy PX influence in an apparent oiliness and damp, dunnage note.

Finish: The tannic element continues through to the finish, and PX qualities come to the forefront in notes of sultanas and rich spices.

The Springbank distillery is located on the Kintyre Peninsula on the west coast of Scotland. Founded in 1824 the distillery is family owned by J & A Mitchell Ltd and is one of the last remaining in the Campbeltown whisky producing region. Releasing some fantastic quality whiskies demand in the market has rocketed in recent years making the brand hugely collectable. In 2019 Springbank was first on the Rare Whisky 101 list of investable whiskies. The distillery makes three individual styles of single malt. Longrow which is peated and double distilled, Hazelburn which is non-peated and triple distilled and Springbank which is slightly peated and distilled two and half times. Both Hazelburn and Longrow take their names from lost distilleries opposite the current site. All the barley used for these whiskies is malted using Springbank’s own traditional floor maltings. As well as a great core range there are also yearly limited releases of the older single malts.
