Tasting Profile
- Nose: Sherry leads with prune, raisin and candied peel over caramel and spice; with air come old books, polished wood and gentle smoke.
- Palate: Sponge cake, almond paste and ginger biscuit, honey, cola and cocoa, with a light earthy funk.
- Finish: Fairly long and woody, with sweet spice, a trace of aniseed and soft peat smoke.
Serving & Food
Open the bottle and give it time; it improves with air over several weeks. Gingerbread, braised pork belly, or a board of hard cheeses and dried figs are natural partners.

Springbank was licensed in Campbeltown in 1828, and the Mitchell family has owned it since 1837. It still malts all its own barley on its floors and bottles every cask on site.
