Springbank 21 Year 2022 is a mature Campbeltown single malt built around the distillery's coastal, oily house style and a cask mix of sherry and port wood. Specialist references list the 2022 release at 46% ABV in 700mL, making it a strong bottle for collectors who want an annual Springbank release with real age and a fuller sherried profile.
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. Unlike the 2021 edition of the same age statement, the 2022 vatting draws on sherry and port cask stock, giving this release a fuller, fruitier character than the more citrus-led 2021 bottling -- a reminder that Springbank's age-statement releases vary meaningfully from year to year depending on the casks selected for each vatting.
