Matured in ex-sherry casks, the Springbank 15 Year Old (2020 release) delivers a robust profile of dried fruits, spice, and leathery depth. Bottled at 46% ABV, this Campbeltown single malt is a classic representation of the distillery’s rich and oily house style.
Springbank Distillery
Located in Campbeltown on Scotland’s Kintyre Peninsula, Springbank Distillery is one of the oldest family-owned distilleries in Scotland. Founded in 1828 on the site of Archibald Mitchell’s illicit still, it remains one of the few distilleries to carry out 100% of the whisky-making process on site — from malting to bottling. Revered for its traditional methods, transparency, and limited releases, Springbank produces three distinct styles: Springbank (lightly peated), Longrow (heavily peated), and Hazelburn (unpeated).
