- Description
- Springbank's 1991 vintage is a rare expression of Campbeltown's most characterful distillery, aged 12 years in bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength to capture the full intensity of its briny, slightly funky maritime spirit. Bourbon cask maturation allows Springbank's signature winey, spiced character to shine without heavy oak overlay. The distillery's partial triple-distillation process yields oily texture and persistence. A collectible bottle for serious Campbeltown enthusiasts.
