Springbank Vintage 1st Batch Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 2001 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany-tinged edges.

Nose

Coastal peat, brine and smoke leap from the glass, tempered by sherry sweetness. Dried fig, raisin and dark chocolate mingle with vanilla, toffee and toasted oak, while a waxy, maritime veil lingers, hinting at depth beyond its eight years.

Palate

Full-bodied and mouth-coating, this Campbeltown delivers cask-strength intensity with bold peat smoke. Salty sea-air and maritime brine weave with sherry-dark fruit—raisin and fig—tinged by cocoa. Peppery spice and a waxy texture lift the palate, leading to a long, drying finish of smoke, sea-salt, and oak.

Finish

Long and buoyant, the finish coats the palate with coastal peat and a whisper of smoke. Sherry-darkened fruit, cocoa and vanilla unfold, giving way to spice and a peppery warmth. A briny maritime thread winds through the oak, leaving a refined, persistent fade that begs another sip.
