Springbank 15 Years 70 CL 46%

Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Springbank 15 Years is a single malt whiskey from the artisan distillery Springbank in Campbeltown. It is composed of whiskey predominantly from sherry casks, which gives the light smoky notes a fine counterpoint to dark fruit and Christmas spices. Springbank 15 Years is bottled at 46% alcohol, and in typical Springbank style, it is neither added with caramel coloring nor chill-filtered.

Colour: Golden
Aroma: Dark chocolate, demerara sugar, Christmas cake, rope, roasted almonds and burnt oak.
Tasting notes: A creamy taste of raisin bread, figs, vanilla, Brazil nuts and small hints of smoke.
Serving suggestions: Should be enjoyed neat, possibly with a drop of water.

At Springbank, 3 distinct types of whiskey are produced, which differ on a number of parameters. The classic Springbank has a light peat smoke. The smoke level is indicated (somewhat imprecisely) with a measurement of phenol in the finished malted barley and is approximately 10-15 “parts per million” (the malt is dried for 6 hours with peat smoke and 30 hours with hot air). Springbank is also distilled 2.5 times. “Longrow” – a strongly smoked variant was first made in 1973. Here the smoke is up to 50-55 ppm, the malt is dried for 48 hours with peat smoke, and it is distilled twice. The newest variant, Hazelburn, saw the light of day in 1997 when, for the first time, they tried completely unsmoked and triple-distilled whiskey. Of the approximately 175,000 liters the small Campbeltown distillery produces per year, 80% is Springbank, approximately 10% Longrow and 10% Hazelburn.

Regardless of which variant you’re after, Springbank is worth getting to know. It is the favorite distillery of many whiskey geeks and for good reason! As the only distillery in Scotland, they malt all the barley they need themselves. Color is never added and the whiskey is not chill-filtered.
