Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 24th Release

"yet another great edition. The 40% sherry casks seem to be more dominant, but it works really well." - whiskylifestyle.com

The annual Springbank cask strength releases vary in terms of maturation. Typically ratios of bourbon casks and sherry casks are used (this time 60% / 40%). We've noted a different kind of complexity each year, without compromising the Campbeltown soot and rugged coastal character. As always, it's non chill filtered. 54.1% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Nose: It’s lightly peated with hints of dried fruit, such as raisins and apricots. Oranges. A hint of toffee. Minerals and later also a lovely note of creme brulee. Taste: chocolate and toffee at first. Followed by peat smoke. Raisins and dried apricots again, but also oranges. A light herbal note. A hint of diesel oil and some spices, such as cinnamon and crushed black pepper. Finish: long, slightly drying with some smoke, dried apricots and oranges. Chocolate and the same spices as on the palate. Ahhh, Springbank 12, what took you so long! I missed you.  This is yet another great edition. The 40% sherry casks seem to be more dominant, but it works really well. And it shows once again why I love going back to these releases! - whiskylifestyle.com

Collectors note: Springbank's labels almost always arrive with minor wearing and markings, most often to the top of the front labels. This is unavoidable. If you are likely to be disappointed by minor label scuffing, we recommend you don't buy these whiskies.
