Springbank Vintage Batch #1 Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery edges and a mahogany glow.

Nose

Coastal peat and brine rise in a refined, maritime smoke, like ember-warmed driftwood. Malt sweetness and toffee mingle with citrus zest and green apple, while a subtle sherry lift lends dried fruit and almond notes. A mineral, peppery edge threads through the aroma, inviting the palate.

Palate

Full-bodied and oily, this Springbank coats the palate with coastal peat and sea-salt brine. Sherry fruit—raisins and figs—marries dark chocolate, toffee and espresso, underpinned by cinnamon and pepper. Oak remains polished, delivering a warm, resinous sweetness. The finish is long and maritime, with lingering smoke, salted caramel, and a final kiss of heat from the high ABV.

Finish

Long, maritime finish with coastal smoke, dark chocolate and dried fruit, a soft sherry sweetness, and a warm, peppery embrace that slowly fades to saline minerality.
