Springbank 18 Year 2020 is a mature Campbeltown single malt from one of Scotland's most admired traditional distilleries. The 18-year-old bottlings are consistently prized for their combination of coastal structure, weight and complexity, making them attractive to both drinkers and collectors.
From the Producer
Springbank was founded in 1828 by Archibald Mitchell in Campbeltown, on the Kintyre peninsula, and has remained in the hands of his descendants' company, J&A Mitchell, ever since. It is the only distillery in Scotland that performs every stage of production on site -- floor-malting its own barley, mashing, fermenting in boatskin larch washbacks for up to 110 hours, distilling in three direct-fired copper stills, and bottling without chill filtration or added colour. Springbank whisky itself is distilled two-and-a-half times, a Campbeltown-specific process unique to the distillery. Campbeltown once had more than thirty working distilleries; today only three remain, and Springbank is the one most closely associated with the region's historic character. The 18 Year sits in Springbank's core age-statement range, above the 10 and 15 Year and below the 21, and is bottled annually with only minor batch-to-batch variation. As with all Springbank single malt, this 2020 release was distilled two-and-a-half times and matured without chill filtration or added colour.
