Product Details
Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany depth and copper-gold highlights.
Nose
Sherry-soaked richness of dried cherries, fig and plum, with toffee, cocoa, and toasted almond. Peat smoke threads a coastal saltiness through the glass, with vanilla and layered spice. Complex, warm, and decadently inviting.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, this Springbank unites rich sherry sweetness with malt and smoke. Notes of fig, raisin, date and toffee interlace with dark chocolate and toasted almond, while a thread of peat and maritime brine keeps it lively. Spices such as cinnamon and clove warm the oak, delivering a long, balanced finish of fruit, smoke and subtle salt.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish where sherry sweetness lingers with subtle Campbeltown peat and coastal salt. Dried fig and raisin unfold into dark chocolate and spice, wrapped in warm oak. A maritime kiss persists, fading slowly to a velvety, nutty echo.
