Springbank Vintage Batch Single Cask #263 Whisky 12 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with luminous copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge, a sherry-kissed, sunset-tinged glow.

Nose

Peat smoke and sea air mingle with rich sherry fruit on the nose: fig and raisin layered over cocoa and caramel, warmed by vanilla and polished oak. A medicinal hint lingers, underscored by a briny, coastal snap.

Palate

Full-bodied and oily on the palate, this Springbank unfurls a rolling peat smoke with coastal salt and brine. Sherry maturation deepens into dark fruitcake, fig and raisin, lightly touched by cocoa and toasted almond. Spices ginger and clove braid through a lacquered oak sweetness, leading to a long, warming finish with vanilla and a maritime tang.

Finish

An enduring, warming finish where peat smoke lingers above rich sherry fruit, mingling with dark chocolate and dried fruit. Subtle maritime lift and spice thread through velvety oak, leaving a long, polished warmth that invites another sip.
