Springbank 30 Year Old Distillery Release 46%

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: We are welcomed into this dram with a characteristically fruity nose in notes of baked pineapple, peach and upside down cake. There are hints of serrano ham, honey and peat smoke from the outset.

Taste: Light and delicate on the palate, the fruit notes continue and a waxy element is introduced. There is a creamy, buttery mouthfeel reminiscent of brandy butter, and notes of parma violets.

Finish: Dry in the finish, there are notes of raisins and mixed peel to round off this dram.

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.
