Springbank C.V. - 2000s
Springbank
Tasting Notes
The Springbank C.V. from the 2000s represents a unique expression from one of Campbeltown's last remaining distilleries, produced during a time when this historic whisky region had long since transitioned from its heyday as the "whisky capital of the world." Made at one of Scotland's oldest independent distilleries, founded by the Mitchell family in 1828, this bottling showcases Springbank's commitment to traditional methods where every step from malting to bottling occurs on-site. As a Springbank expression, this C.V. (Chairman's Vat) would have featured their signature style of lightly peated, partially triple-distilled spirit, creating a complex profile that typically balances fruit notes with subtle coastal salinity and gentle smoke. Given this bottle's age, having been bottled in the 2000s, potential buyers should note that particular care may be needed when opening, as the closure may have degraded over time. Each bottle represents not just a dram of whisky, but a piece of Campbeltown's rich distilling heritage.
