Springbank 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch
This SKU is for the current release of Springbank 15- now being imported in 700ml size bottles
The Springbank 1979 15 Year Old is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky from the renowned Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Distilled in December 1979 and bottled in January 1995, this expression was aged for 15 years and released at 46% ABV. Notably, approximately 500 bottles were produced, making it a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts.
A soft orange-amber with subtle flickers of fiery orange. Salty ocean water and air, plump golden raisins, grapefruit and lemon peels, a faint whiff of smoke and even fainter peat, faint milk chocolate and creamy custard. Salty, beach campfire smoky, now the peat wafts forward a bit more, also the raisins are joined by papaya and grilled pineapple, more milk chocolate, some creamy custard, a bit of salted caramel. A soft warmth lingers with gentle wood and sherry tannins, an earthy cement, faint papaya and peaty smoke. Balanced like a spinning top: steadily shifting around the same patterns, and you wonder how long it’s going to go even though you know the eventual outcome.
Tasting Notes
Quite full and rich. There are notes of creamy fruit salad and more exotic fruit notes. There is palpable mastication from the oaked tannins with a hint of spice.
Fragrant with a certain richness. Notes of fruit salad and a hint of caramel, pineapple, guava and passion fruit lurk. There are notes of dried leather and old ropes. A hint of toffee sweetness and some granary toast.
Fairly long with a gentle warmth.
