- Description
- Springbank's single-cask release, distilled October 1996 and aged in a Sherry hogshead for exactly 20 years, captures the Campbeltown distillery's meaty, oily character enriched by Sherry maturation. The Sherry cask adds dark fruit, spice, and sweetness to Springbank's signature briny, waxy profile, creating a complex, multi-layered spirit. With only 75 bottles produced, this represents a rare opportunity to experience Springbank's uncompromising character in its sherried form. Ideal for committed Springbank collectors.
