The Springbank distillery is one of a small number of remaining Campbeltown distilleries - it used to be one of the most prolific regions, somewhat akin to Speyside, though today only a handful of distilleries remain. Lucky, the Springbank distillery produces a fantastic array of Campbeltown whisky for us to enjoy, including classic Springbank (lightly peated), Hazelburn (unpeated) and Longrow (heavily peated), and they’re all bloomin’ marvellous. Our Springbank label features Neil Ridley and Joel Harrison (formerly of caskstrength.net) working the old Porteus Mill at Springbank. Put your back into it, lads!

Tasting notes:

Nose: Sliced red apple by the Campbeltown coast. Peppery leaves, rubbed mint and gentle peat.
Palate: Rhubarb and custard sweets and deeper, rootsy goodness more like a rich Italian vermouth.
Finish: Positively smoky on the finish, what a whisky!
