Springbank ODD - Original Distinct Defiant Single Malt Scotch Whisky 9 Year Old · 1999 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with rich mahogany undertones and a faint ruby edge, glowing with warm, sunset-like richness.

Nose

Bold peat and coastal brine rise first, a Campbeltown sea-air signature crowned with sherry-depth. Orange zest and dried fig mingle with toasted almond, cocoa, and vanilla, while baking spice threads through velvety oak. At 55.4% the aroma stays focused, defiant, and refined.

Palate

Bold, concentrated and warming, the palate pairs Springbank’s signature peat with sherry-dark fruit. Maritime salt and iodine braid through figs, cocoa and integrated vanilla, while a waxy, full-bodied mouthfeel coats the tongue. Spiced warmth lingers into a long finish, leaving smoke, treacle, and a refined oak sweetness that invites another thoughtful sip.

Finish

Long, coastal finish where peat smoke lingers with sea-salt and sherried sweetness. Dried fruit deepens into cocoa, toffee and subtle vanilla, while oak winds in with spice and a whisper of leather. A brine-kissed edge gives way to a warm, mouth-coating glow that persists with refinement and defiant character, inviting the next measured sip.
