Springbank 30 year old 2022 Release Single Campbeltown Malt Whisky 46%

Some whisky you buy. Some you pass down. Springbank 30 Year Old belongs to the second kind - a bottle that waited quietly in cask while three decades passed outside the warehouse walls in Campbeltown.

Expert Description

Springbank 30 Year Old 2022 Release is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in 1992, matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and bottled at 46%.

This whisky sits at the oldest end of the distillery's core range, and the 2022 release draws on a cask makeup of roughly 85% ex-bourbon and 15% ex-sherry casks. Three decades in wood have brought a depth and roundness that only comes with time, layered on top of Springbank's signature 2.5 times distillation, which gives the whisky its oily, complex style.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried apricot and beeswax arrive first, followed by old oak and a touch of salted caramel.

Palate

Full and oily with layers of honey, toasted almonds and a dark, dry sherry note that ties it all together.

Finish

Long and dry, with a final hint of sea air and old oak lingering well after the last sip.
