- Description
- Springbank's 1997 vintage aged 11 years in Madeira wine casks and bottled at robust cask strength (55.1% ABV), with just 9,090 bottles released. The Madeira wood imparts striking fruity vibrancy—expect stone fruits, dried citrus, and wine-like complexity layered beneath Campbeltown's signature funky, slightly sulphury character. The high alcohol provides warmth and presence, while the finish is long, spicy, and dry. A limited, special-release dram for collectors or those seeking Springbank's character enhanced by unusual wood influence.
