Springbank
Tasting Notes
Springbank's 17 Year Old Madeira Wood Finish is a true gem that captures the essence of Campbeltown's rich whisky heritage. This single malt whisky starts its journey in a harmonious blend of rum and bourbon barrels, imparting a depth of flavors that tantalize the senses. The final three-year slumber in fresh Madeira hogsheads lends a luscious twist, elevating the whisky to new heights of complexity and intrigue. With each sip, you're transported to a world of ginger cake, toffee, grapefruit rind, and strawberry jam, underscored by alluring saline and smoky notes. The palate dances with spicy black pepper, briny peat, caramelized ginger, salted caramel, and fennel, offering a delightfully oily mouthfeel. The finish lingers, with peat character entwined with walnuts, leaving a lasting impression. Limited to just 9,200 bottles, this exceptional release from Springbank is a true celebration of craftsmanship and innovation.
