Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 27th Release

Springbank's twelve year old cask strength edition has been on the market for about twelve years. Releases have not always been to schedule. In some years, just one bottling was offered. Due to its growing popularity, Springbank has settled on two annual releases. The breakdown of this year's cask regime is 60% Bourbon, 35% Sherry and 5% Rum (the same as the 26th release). Reportedly bottled in February 2025. 55.9% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

Other reviews... Water helps taper the slight alcohol nip, but this batch once again does not disappoint. Extremely balanced with that extra prominent rum dimension on top. Hard to fault; top-notch. - whiskybase.com

...The balance is absolutely spot on here. It’s sweet initially, but it’s quickly balanced by savoury, bitter and smoky notes. Despite being only 35% sherry it is a strong influence to the overall blend of casks, with the rum perhaps adding some of the sweetness I’m enjoying on the palate. There’s plenty of complexity and I feel I could list note after note given long enough to bore you further. Just as the Hazelburn was a seven verging on an eight, this is an eight that I was very tempted to give an exceptional nine out of ten. - dramface.com
