- Description
- Springbank's 2021 online tasting release combines eight years of maturation split between bourbon and Pedro Ximénez casks, crafted at cask strength for full flavor impact. Six years of bourbon aging establishes a cereal and vanilla foundation, while the two-year PX finish adds dried fruit, honey, and warming spice complexity. The palate is full-bodied with richness balanced by the distillery's characteristic slightly funky, coastal character. Limited to 1,160 bottles, this expression suits Springbank enthusiasts seeking the interplay between maritime minerality and sherry influence.
