Tasting Notes
Imagine the rugged shores of Campbeltown, where the salty sea air mingles with the aroma of peat-fired malts. This 21-year-old Springbank whisky is a true embodiment of that coastal character. Aged to perfection, it was then finished in a custom-made octave cask that previously held the rich, velvety oloroso sherry. The marriage of these two worlds creates a symphony of flavors. On the nose, candied oranges and chewy caramel dance with briny undertones and earthy malt notes. The palate is a delightful balance of sweet dried fruits, toffee, meaty malt, and woody spice, with hints of beach bonfires smoldering in the distance. The finish lingers with syrupy peaches, zesty marmalade, yeasty sourdough, and dense, sherried oak. This whisky is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Darkness team, who have masterfully crafted a dram that captures the essence of Springbank's coastal heritage and the luxurious indulgence of sherry casks.
