This expression has been aged for 31 years and bottled at an ABV of 54%.

Rich and complex with notes of dried fruits, honey, and a hint of smoke, complemented by earthy undertones and a touch of oak.
Full-bodied with flavors of dark chocolate, figs, and spices, alongside a subtle maritime influence and a creamy mouthfeel.
Long and warming, with lingering notes of toffee, citrus zest, and a gentle smokiness.
An exceptional and rare expression showcasing the depth and character of Springbank's craftsmanship.

On the Kintyre Peninsula in western Scotland, there is a family-run single malt whiskey distillery called Springbank. It is owned by J & A Mitchell & Company, the same company that controls the Glengyle distillery, William Cadenheads, the oldest independent bottler, and a number of blended scotch brands. One of the remaining single malt whisky makers still operating in Campbeltown, which formerly had over thirty operational distilleries, is Springbank, which received its license in 1828. Three different kinds of peated and unpeated malt whiskey are produced by the distillery and bottled. A sizable portion of its distillate is sold to bigger blenders or used to make one of J&A Mitchell's own blended scotch brands, such Campbeltown Loch, while the remainder is bottled as single malt.
