Springbank 15 Years Campbeltown NV

Distillery Notes `As the eye takes in the dark russet colour of the 15 Year Old the nose anticipates the rich sweet smell of the sherry casks used to mature this age of Springbank. The anticipation is rewarded as you remove the cork and allow the sherry aromas to drift out. However the sweet nose on this dram only begins to suggest the full range of flavours which emerge on the palate; dark chocolate figs marzipan brazil nuts and vanilla all mingle to DRAMatic effect! Warming and elegant on the finish.`

One of the only distilleries under continuous family ownership. The entire process from floor malting to bottling is done at this historic site in Campbeltown. The sherry cask aging leads to a rich, sweet flavour with a hint of sea salt. Non chill filtered and no coloring added.

Distillery Notes `A perfect introduction to the Springbank range. Whilst bourbon casks are mainly used for maturation allowing the distillery character to shine through a number of sherry casks are also used for added body. The light colour of this malt belies the richness of its character. Whilst the nose suggests a wide range of aromas from citrus fruits to pears and a hint of peat the palate excites even further with touches of smoke vanilla essence nutmeg cinnamon and the salty tang we have come to expect from Springbank.` The Malt Advocate `Gold color fresh sea breeze aroma with vanilla and read more...delicately soft fruit. Medium body. Appetizing exciting flavors of vanilla toffee brine and subtle note of coconut and spearmint. Long teasing finish.`    (hide)
