Springbank 10 years old Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%

Springbank 10 Year Old is the gateway to the distillery's world - the bottle many whisky lovers point to when explaining why Campbeltown deserves its own place on the shelf next to Islay and Speyside.

Expert Description

Springbank 10 Year Old is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Springbank, matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 46%.

Springbank 10 Year Old has become increasingly hard to find as the distillery's strict allocations limit how much reaches Danish shelves. The whisky carries all of Springbank's hallmarks: the unique 2.5 times distillation, floor-malted barley and an oily, complex style found nowhere else in Scotland.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Heather honey, ripe pears and pepper blend with a hint of oyster shell and sea air.

Palate

Peaches in syrup meet salty umami notes, light peat smoke and a touch of soot.

Finish

Amber and warm, with a lingering sweetness that slowly gives way to a dry, smoky close.

Frequently Asked Questions about Springbank 10 Year Old

Why is Springbank 10 Year Old hard to find?

The distillery operates strict allocations worldwide, and demand far exceeds the quantity produced each year.

Is Springbank 10 Year Old worth it?

Yes - it offers a complexity and craftsmanship rarely found in other 10 year old single malts, thanks to Springbank's unique 2.5 times distillation.

Is Springbank 10 Year Old peated?

Only lightly. Springbank typically sits at the light to medium end of the scale, where the smoke supports rather than dominates the character.

What is the difference between Springbank 10 and 15 Year Old?

The 15 year old is predominantly sherry matured and fuller and darker, while the 10 year old has a fresher, more balanced profile between bourbon and sherry casks.

Which glass suits Springbank 10 Year Old best?

A Glencairn whisky glass gathers both the fruit and the light smoke.

Should Springbank 10 Year Old be served with ice?

No, it is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water, which can open up the finer honey and pear notes.
