Traditional Craftsmanship
Springbank maintains its reputation by producing whisky without artificial colouring and without chill filtration. This dedication ensures a natural and authentic profile. The absence of modern shortcuts preserves the whisky’s integrity. Occasionally, a natural haze may appear when the whisky is chilled, but it vanishes once it returns to room temperature. This traditional approach reflects the distillery’s dedication to quality and authenticity.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, winter spices mingle with rich sherry notes and a touch of peat. The palate reveals a full-bodied and spicy character, layered with orange, chocolate, and hints of honey. Spicy oak builds complexity and balance. The finish is long-lasting, with ripe fruit merging beautifully with peaty oak. The saffron hue adds visual elegance, highlighting its time in sherry casks.
A Celebration of Sherry Cask Influence
This Springbank 17 Year Old showcases the remarkable influence of European oak sherry casks. The aging process enhances the whisky with richness, warmth, and a distinct depth. Each sip reflects the careful marriage of tradition, craftsmanship, and time. For those who appreciate refined Scotch whisky, this vintage is both rewarding and memorable.
