Springbank Port Wood Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Dark, burnished amber with coppery-mahogany depth and a warm ruby glow.

Nose

Spice-rich and maritime, the nose opens with bright peat smoke and sea spray. Port-finished sweetness delivers plush red fruit—cherries, raspberries, plums—layered with fig and a hint of raisin. Subtle cocoa, vanilla and polished oak weave through, while a saline note keeps it fresh. Warm, wine-kissed complexity lingers, inviting further exploration.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this Springbank greets with peaty, maritime smoke that coats the palate. Port-cask sweetness delivers red plum, fig and raisin, layered with espresso-dark chocolate and vanilla toffee. Oak spice and a touch of white pepper lift the mid-palate, leading to a long, warming finish of smoke, fruit and brine.

Finish

Opulent, long finish of ripe red fruits—plum, cherry, fig—infused by port cask sweetness. Dark chocolate, caramel and a whisper of smoke linger, carried on velvety oak tannins with a maritime breeze, the warmth staying long after the swallow.
