About the brand

Established in Campbeltown Scotland in 1828 and still run by generations of just one family, the Mitchells, Springbank Whisky is the only remaining distillery in Scotland to still malt 100% of its barley using traditional floor-malting methods. It's also the only Scottish distillery to produce 3 distinct malts on-site. And while many of its competitors cut corners during the 1920s due to high consumer demand, Springbank continued to establish its reputation as a superior malt whisky manufacturer. By 1934, many distilleries in the Campbeltown area were forced to close, leaving only Springbank and another well-known brand (Glen Scotia), further enshrining this prolific brand as a true iconic distillery. Ensuring human involvement in each step of the production process, Springbank instills an element of historical legacy in every iteration in its silo, consistently offering up the highest quality of products to fans around the world. Despite facing numerous challenges in the 20th century - including 2 World Wars and the profound economic downturn of the 1980s - this stalwart brand has stood fast in its aim to offer top-shelf whisky and has grown to become one of the world's leaders in premium Scottish whisky.

Remarkable dram!

Posted on Oct 31st, 2022

Springbank multi year - 2014 release. I'm somewhat stunned to see this is a 2014 yet 14/301 is what's here and the 14 ought to be the year. Purchased a 2014 longrow 18 not too some time in the past just as a 12 (old bundling) so I surmise not unreasonably astonishing. The crate and container anyway look outrageously ideal to be this vintage. In any case 301 so year's end 2014 at any rate. Nose - great springbank bar-b-que peat as I have come to consider it. There's somewhat of a wine character not only a sherry note (this is vigorously sherried I'm genuinely sure). I get a touch of oak yet given 18 years not a ton. As it's opening up I'm beginning to get vanilla from the whiskey. A clean springbank nose considerably more refined than the 12's and 15's. I don't know this is something worth being thankful for but rather it simply is the thing that it is. Taste - Opens with a ton of vanilla advances to some sherry at that point moves into that springbank funk with bar-b-que and more sherry flavors structure it warms up and afterward pleasantly and tenderly wraps up. There's delicate smoke over the entire experience maybe the most smoke I've jumped on a springbank to date. Gracious better believe it vanilla cream over this pleasant harsh sherry nibble flavorful smoke a bit of meat an extremely decent medium completion. Just genuine negative I have for this one is that it truly drinks somewhat like water from the outset before the sherry and peat and flashes of springbank develop and send you on an epic excursion. Regularly 46% is that nearly there yet not there spot for a whisky and this may grandstand that like no other. 48% would be a distinct advantage. 170 buck well justified despite all the trouble and yes I need another jug or two.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The sherry influence is immediately apparent on the nose, with notes of medjool dates, raisins and demerara sugar. Notes of blueberry, fondant icing, lemon drizzle and fig jam provide a welcoming introduction to this dram.

Taste

There is a creaminess on the palate with notes of cappucinno foam and tiramisu. Muddled strawberries, Christmas cake, marzipan and cinnamon notes add to this well-rounded dram.

Finish

A sweet and juicy finish with notes of syrup and sugared shortbread.
