Springbank 11 Year Old Madeira Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch. Greenish nut colored whisky with a nose composed of sea salt with a little caramel behind it. Salty, spicy and sweet on the palate, all at the same time. There’s sandal wood and grilled nuts along with malt. Just plain toothsome, and not at all hot, for all its power. The finish is long, and soft and highlighted with red berry notes. D&M Tasting Notes.

Distilled: June 1977, Bottled: January 2009. 900 Bottles only. 55.1% ABV.

Springbank 12 Fino Sherry Butt Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Distilled: June 1996. Bottled: April 2009. 514 bottles Cask# 96/262 56.3% ABV. Salted candies on the nose. Fantastic texture with the Fino really showing through. Salt, almonds and a touch of smoke. A bit of sweetness pulls it all together. D&M Tasting Notes.

Springbank 12 Year Old Amontillado Sherry Butt Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This cask strength Springbank 12 year old was matured 12 years in an Amontilado Sherry Butt. Distilled in June 1996, this was bottled in April 2009. There were 511 bottles of total production, all of which are for the U.S. exclusively. Distilled: June 1996. Bottled: April 2009. 511 bottles cask# 96/255 55.3% ABV.

Red Fruit and Guava on the nose. The palate shows brine, pepper and sandlewood. Again, a nice showing of the cask – not at all overpowering but definitely identifiable. D&M Tasting Notes.

The Distillery

Springbank Distillery is unique. It is the oldest independent family owned distillery in Scotland. Founded in 1828 on the site of Archibald Mitchell’s illicit still, the Springbank Distillery is now in the hands of his great great grand son, Hedley G. Wright.

Owned by Mr Wright’s J&A Mitchell & Co Ltd, Springbank is the only distillery in Scotland to carry out the full production process on the one site. 100% of the traditional floor malting, maturation and bottling is done at the distillery in Campbeltown.

It produces the most hand made whisky in Scotland, with traditional production methods being used throughout the process, and human involvement at each and every stage.

It is the only distillery in Scotland to have never chill-filtered, nor do we add any artificial colourings to any of our single malts.

It is the only distillery in Scotland to produce three different single malts, Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn, using three different production methods.
