Springbank 1997 Vintage Batch 2

Batch 2 of the highly acclaimed Vintage 1997 is another fantastic offering. One of 10,800 bottles from re-charred Sherry Butts, and bottled in 2008. 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. On the palate there’s loads of sherry and oak. Nice and earthy - think moss and damp woodlands or dunnage warehouse floors.
