Springbank Bourbon Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with sun-warmed honey and copper-bronze highlights.

Nose

Aromas of vanilla and toffee rise from creamy oak, brightened by orange zest and dried fruit. Subtle peat adds a gentle smoke, while a whisper of coastal brine and almond completes the bouquet. Bourbon-cask sweetness lends warmth and inviting depth.

Palate

Full-bodied and assertive, this Springbank delivers a swelling wave of vanilla and treacle from the Bourbon cask, mingling with toasted oak, orange zest and a touch of creamy coconut. Peat smoke threads through, bringing maritime salinity and a whisper of iodine. The high ABV lends peppery warmth, while dried fruit and spice build toward a long, drying finish.

Finish

Long, warming finish of vanilla and toffee, with toasted oak and baking spices. A lift of citrus and a whisper of coastal smoke linger, the high proof keeping sweetness balanced as the finish persists with elegance.
