The Springbank Fresh Sherry Single Cask 1994 24 Year Old UK Exclusive is one of the distillery's most sought-after modern single cask releases. Distilled in December 1994, matured exclusively in a fresh sherry hogshead for 24 years and bottled in 2019 at 46.2% ABV, this remarkable Campbeltown single malt was released exclusively for the UK market with an outturn of just 294 bottles.
Combining Springbank's unmistakable coastal character with rich sherry maturation, this bottling has become highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts alike. As demand for older official Springbank releases continues to grow, bottlings like this have become increasingly difficult to find.
Why Springbank Is One of Scotland's Most Respected Distilleries
Founded in 1828 in Campbeltown, Springbank is widely regarded as one of Scotland's most traditional distilleries. Family owned by J. & A. Mitchell & Co., it remains one of the few distilleries to carry out every stage of whisky production on site, from traditional floor malting through to bottling.
Springbank's distinctive production methods, including partial triple distillation and traditional worm tub condensers, create a rich, oily spirit unlike any other Scotch whisky. Combined with Campbeltown's coastal climate, the result is a whisky famous for balancing maritime salinity, gentle peat smoke, orchard fruit and remarkable complexity.
Today, official Springbank bottlings regularly rank among the world's most collectable modern Scotch whiskies.
Matured in a Fresh Sherry Hogshead
This release spent its entire 24-year maturation in a fresh sherry hogshead, allowing the cask to develop exceptional richness without overwhelming Springbank's distinctive distillery character.
Rather than masking the spirit, the fresh sherry cask adds layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate, roasted coffee and warming spice alongside the classic Campbeltown notes of coastal salinity, light peat and oily malt.
It is a superb example of why Springbank's sherry cask bottlings are so highly regarded by whisky lovers around the world.
A True Single Cask Release
Unlike standard batch releases, this whisky comes from one individual cask, meaning every bottle captures a unique moment in Springbank's history.
With only 294 bottles released worldwide, each bottle represents an increasingly scarce piece of one of Scotland's most revered distilleries.
As availability has dwindled over the years, this bottling has become one of the standout official Springbank releases from the late 2010s.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich dried fruits, polished oak, dark chocolate, espresso, gentle peat smoke, leather and maritime salinity.
Palate: Full-bodied and oily with dark berries, tobacco, roasted coffee, walnuts, dark chocolate, coastal minerality and warming oak spice.
Finish: Exceptionally long with lingering peat smoke, sherried fruit, espresso, oak and classic Campbeltown character.
