A single cask release of 100% Port pipe matured Springbank that only yielded 696 bottles and bottled at natural cask strength and natural colour.
Well balanced mix of classic Springbank flavours and Port wood influence that could have overwhelmed the distillery character after 12 years in Port pipes but doesn't.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery hues and a warm mahogany core, touched by a ruby glow.
Nose
Salty, earthy red berries reveal themselves slowly, cranberry taking the lead after a moment’s hush. The Port influence is subtle at first, with wisps of fruity liquorice and briney black grape rounding out the aroma, hinting at maritime sweetness beneath the surface.
Palate
Pink peppercorns and crunchy red berries ride a full-bodied palate, with hints of salty brine and earthy smoke that Springbank is famed for. Malty brown bread, cured ham and cranberry notes weave a savoury, sandwich-like core, finishing with peppery spice.
Finish
Homemade redcurrant and rosemary jelly lingers with salted cured-meat savoriness, while earthy pink grapefruit and black grape skin tannin unfold into a final wave of peppery spice.
