Springbank Calvados Wood Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 2000 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a coppery sheen and honeyed, sun-kissed overtones.

Nose

Bright orchard aromas of ripe apple and pear rise from Calvados‑soaked oak, with vanilla, honeyed toffee and caramel. Subtle peat smoke weaves through cinnamon and clove spice, while a faint maritime breeze adds freshness. A warm, fruit-forward bouquet with liqueur-like depth.

Palate

Bold peat and seaside smoke frame a crisp orchard core—apple and pear brightened by Calvados-derived fruitiness. Vanilla, toffee and creamy oak mingle with warming spices of cinnamon and clove, while a saline undercurrent keeps it maritime. The finish is long and balanced, blending fruit, smoke and citrus zest into a warm, lingering sweetness.

Finish

Long and orchard-forward, the finish delivers bright apple and hints of pear, shaped by Calvados spice and vanilla from fresh oak. The bourbon influence adds caramel sweetness, while a subtle maritime note and a wisp of smoke linger, leaving a warm, brandy-toned apple glow.
