Distilled entirely from barley grown at the nearby Glencraigs Farm, this whisky exudes a profound sense of place.

As you savor the finish, subtle peat smoke emerges, complemented by the sweetness of wine gums, toasted oats, and an earthy dunnage character, leaving a delightfully drying taste. Matured in a harmonious blend of bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at a robust 54.1% ABV, this Springbank Local Barley is sure to excite whisky enthusiasts with its captivating flavor profile and uncompromising quality.
