- Description
- Distilled in 2001 and aged for 15 years in a Guadeloupe rum cask, this Springbank was bottled at 50% ABV from a single cask in 2017, yielding just 218 bottles. The rum cask maturation would have imparted tropical sweetness and complexity to Campbeltown's characteristically oily, briny character.
