Springbank 12 years Brut de barrel 55,9%
The soul of Campbeltown at full power
Springbank, founded in 1828 in Campbeltown — once the "whisky capital of the world" — is the most emblematic of the three distilleries still active in this region of Scotland. Family-owned, artisanal, she masters every step of production on site. Its signature: a 2.5-time distillation, a rare process that gives its single malts a unique complexity. This highly anticipated 12-year-old cask strength has matured in bourbon (60%) and sherry (40%) casks.
Sea, fruity and peaty
The nose reveals aromas of toffee apple, hazelnut and marzipan, crossed by a delicate peat smoke and a maritime and saline breath. On the palate, the texture is rich and syrupy at 55.9%: peach in syrup, heather honey, milk chocolate and warm spices follow one another with fluidity. The long and elegant finish alternates between sweet peat, candied orange peel and wild herbs. A cult whisky, without compromise.

Springbank
Attention, almost historical monument. It is an understatement to say that Springbank holds a special place in the world of Scotch whisky. First of all, by its geographical location, since there are only three distilleries left in operation in the Campbeltown area. And it's not really the kind of place you pass by chance. Unless you want to isolate yourself from the modern world. This is probably the reason why the distillery still works... the old-fashioned way. From malting to bottling, the entire production process is carried out on site and it is the only one of its kind today in Scotland. This also explains the important place that the distillery holds in the local community. Springbank still employs nearly 70 people on a daily basis, a record number of employees for only 130,000 liters of pure alcohol produced per year (the equivalent of 450,000 bottles). Another curiosity is that three different brands are marketed depending on the production process and the level of peat.
