- Description
- Springbank's 1990s distillery bottling of their 12-year-old represents a golden era when the Campbeltown distillery filled standard releases with significantly older stock than labeled. This high-strength expression at 57% captures the distillery's full character—waxy, slightly funky, and maritime—with layers of brine, burnt honey, and wood smoke that develop with water. The texture is rich and oily, with a finish that lingers between medicinal and savory. A benchmark Campbeltown whisky for those seeking the distillery's complete personality.
