- Description
- Springbank's 1996 vintage matured for 26 years in a first-fill sherry butt, bottled at cask strength (53.5% ABV) in a hand-blown glass bottle by Decadent Drinks and Whisky Sponge. Campbeltown's famous funky, oily character would have developed deep complexity through decades of sherry influence.
