There are a few Scottish distilleries that still malt their own barley but Springbank is the only Distillery which malts a 100% of its own barley, using the traditional floor maltings. The whole production process: malting, milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation & bottlling, happens on the one site in Campbeltown. This is unique in Scotland.
Tasting notes from the Distillery Nose What an incredible nose, to start with marmalade and honey, then mineral notes from the Kintyre peninsula. As it opens up, freshly baked bread with sweet notes of sun dried bananas to contrast with salted caramel topping. Palate The promise given in the nose continues, a lovely creaminess and sweetness of grapes, custard, honeycomb and marshmallow. This is balanced with salted popcorn and liquorice, and an ever present, hint of peat. Finish There’s a nutty quality about this, almonds,hazelnuts and walnuts as well as an air of indulgence, rich and buttery with an elegant finish that keeps on giving.
