Springbank Whiskyland Chapter 15 Single Cask Whisky 30 Year Old · 1994 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with a warm, sunlit honey glow.

Nose

Sea air and briny minerality frame sweet barley and warm malt. Lemon zest, ripe apple, and honeyed vanilla ride over a backbone of tobacco and toasted almond. A whisper of smoke and iodine lends maritime depth, revealing Springbank's distillate-driven, raw elegance.

Palate

Pure, distillate-forward Springbank on the palate: coastal peat and iodine ride a waxy, sonorous mouthfeel, with briny smoke and a mineral spine. Rich dark chocolate, fig and prune sweetness weave through espresso notes, while oak brings peppery spice and hints of honey. At 44.8% ABV it carries a warm, lingering finish of salted caramel, ash, and persistent maritime echoes.

Finish

Long, maritime finish with coastal peat, sea spray and malt sweetness. Distillate-driven vanilla, toffee and almond emerge as dried fruit glimmers in the background. A subtle saline lift threads through the palate, leaving a warm, resinous core that slowly fades to a refined, nutty afterglow.
