- Description
- Springbank's 1966 Local Barley release represents 32 years of maturation in ex-bourbon cask, bottled at cask strength in 1998 from a single cask. Distilled during Springbank's commitment to using locally-grown barley, this expression carries the robust, oily character typical of Campbeltown's peated traditions. The spirit has developed complexity from four decades in wood while retaining the distillery's signature maritime and slightly funky profile. This cask strength release suits experienced whisky drinkers seeking authentic Campbeltown character from a pivotal era.
