SPRINGBANK - 12 years - Cask Strength - 2025 Edition - 55.9%
A true icon for lovers of authentic single malts, Springbank perfectly embodies the artisanal spirit of Campbeltown, once nicknamed "the whisky capital of the world." From fermentation to bottling, including malting and aging, every step of production is carried out entirely on site, guaranteeing a traditional approach rare in Scotland. The 2025 Edition of this 12-year-old Cask Strength perpetuates this quest for excellence: a whisky of character, at once powerful, dense and remarkably balanced, a true signature of the Springbank distillery.
Bottled at 55.9% cask strength, this edition is not chill-filtered or colored, preserving the malt's natural intensity and richness. The careful blend of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks highlights the vanilla and zesty notes of American oak, combined with the fruity and spicy depth of European oak. Aged exclusively in Campbeltown, this Springbank 12 Year Old demonstrates exemplary maturity, where the expressive freshness of youth merges with the complexity of great mature whiskies.
The nose opens with the typical Springbank profile: dried fruits, acacia honey, candied citrus, with a delicate peat backdrop. Aromas of blond tobacco, fine leather, roasted nuts and salted butter caramel are added, with a hint of iodine characteristic of Campbeltown. On the palate, the liveliness of the cask strength is expressed from the start, immediately balanced by the lusciousness of the fruit: roasted peach, caramelized apple, sweet spices, toasted oak and honey create a dense and enveloping texture. The finish stretches out, oscillating between subtle smoke, marine salinity and an elegant woody bitterness.
Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength 2025 Edition is a distinguished and sophisticated whisky, archetypal of the Campbeltown style: full-bodied, slightly oily, saline, and remarkably harmonious. Consumed neat, it reveals all its raw power; with a few drops of water, it unveils an even more nuanced aromatic palette. Perfect as a digestif or for a tasting among connoisseurs, its intensity enhances a strong dark chocolate, a mature cheese, or a refined cigar.
