Released early 2024, this latest edition of Springbank Local Barley has been made exclusively from barley (Belgravia variety) grown locally at Glencraigs Farm, Campbeltown. Matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, then bottled at 54.1% vol, another superb single malt release from Springbank distillery.
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
On the nose, this whisky is packed full of fruitiness, ripened bananas, boiled sweets and cinnamon.
Palate
Initially, the thick, chewy and oily texture of this whisky is evident. From there, we get a peppery and malty note, then strawberries, brandy schnapps and parma violets.
Finish
Into the finish there’s subtle peat smoke hiding in the background, wine gum sweetness, toasted oats, dunnage earthiness and a slight drying taste.
