- Description
- This 1980s-era Springbank 21 Year Old matured in sherry casks before being bottled in the distinctive dumpy format of its time. Campbeltown's funky, slightly briny character would have been enriched by two decades of sherry oak interaction, softening the distillery's characteristic sulphury notes with dried fruit and spice. The modest 46% ABV reflects the era's bottling philosophy. A historical snapshot of Springbank's mid-century character for those with access to older stock.
