Springbank 26 Years Single Cask Juuls 100th Anniversary Vintage 1999 Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 44.1%

There is ice in the air over the Kintyre peninsula, and behind Springbank's walls, time has been allowed to work quietly. This bottle comes from a single cask, filled in October 1999, when no one knew it would end up marking a hundred years of Danish wine trading.

Expert Description

Springbank 26 Year Old Single Cask Juuls 100th Anniversary is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in October 1999, matured in a first-fill sherry cask and later a refill bourbon cask, and bottled at natural cask strength, 44.1%.

The whisky rested for 20 years in the sherry cask before being transferred in 2019 to the refill bourbon cask, where it matured for a further six years. The cask yielded exactly 108 bottles. The release marks the 100th anniversary of Juuls Vin & Spiritus, which has imported Springbank to the Danish market since 1926, and was first presented at an anniversary tasting in January 2026.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried figs, raisins and a touch of sherry sweetness mix with salty sea air and a hint of beeswax, with a light smokiness underneath.

Palate

Full and lightly oily, with caramelised sugar, dark chocolate and ripe stone fruit. Six years in the bourbon cask has softened the edges and added vanilla and toasted oak.

Finish

Long, salty and lightly dry, with a closing hint of spiced ginger and a lingering smokiness.
