Springbank 11 Year Old Madeira Wood

Bottled 2009, the whisky is matured in fresh Madeira barrels - the result is a classic example of rich and spicy Springbank. Limited release of 9,090 bottles. Springbank Springbank Distillery was established in 1828 in Campbeltown at the foot of the Mull of Kintyre on the west coast of Scotland. Springbank produces three different types of single malt whisky Hazelburn which is non-peated and triple distilled, Longrow which is highly peated and double distilled and Springbank which is medium peated and partially triple distilled having been distilled two and a half times. Barley is spread across traditional malting floors at Springbank where it germinates and is then dried on the perforated floor of the malt kiln. Springbank Distillery welcomes visitors and offers distillery tours. 11 years in Madeira casks accounts for the initial sweetness on the nose, with notes of butter shortbread, demerara sugar, and chocolate orange. Once the initial burst of sweetness recedes, the palate will pick up more gentle notes of spice and oak.
