- Description
- Springbank's 17-year-old combines a striking maturation regime: initial aging in rum and bourbon barrels followed by a three-year Madeira hogshead finish, with 9,200 bottles produced. The layered cask influence—rum and bourbon providing initial character, then Madeira introducing fortified wine complexity—creates an unusually versatile profile. A complex dram for those seeking Campbeltown character refined through adventurous wood management.
