SPRINGBANK - 5 years - 100 Proof - 57.1% - 2025 Edition
Le Clos des Spiritueux is proud to present the long-awaited return of a true Scottish icon: Springbank 5 Year Old 100 Proof, in its brand new 2025 edition. Symbol of the Campbeltown distillery, this exceptional single malt revives the soul of a legendary whisky, perfectly combining artisanal tradition and the pure expression of terroir. Thanks to its unique expertise, Springbank offers here a young, distinguished, intensely authentic whisky, a combination of power, energy and salty character.
Produced, aged, and bottled in the heart of Campbeltown, this Springbank 5 Year Old 100 Proof is a single malt bottled at 57.1% cask strength, without chill filtration or added coloring, thus respecting the pure tradition of the house. Despite its youth, it surprises with its aromatic richness and depth. Aged in carefully selected bourbon and sherry casks, it combines the generosity of the Springbank distillate—oily, lightly peaty, and mineral—with the rich and complex notes of wood. Maritime maturation by the sea gives this rare whisky a striking balance between intensity, salty freshness, and authenticity.
From the first nose, Springbank seduces with its bright aromas of lemon zest, green apple, malted cereals, and sea spray, enhanced by touches of creamy vanilla, blond caramel, and a hint of dry smoke. With aeration, the bouquet broadens to include honeyed nuances, white pepper, subtle peat, and dried herbs. The palate, particularly oily and deep, reveals a lively attack with notes of toasted cereals, ripe yellow fruits, toffee, and spices, accompanied by the signature power of cask strength. The whole finds perfect harmony thanks to a saline tension and a fine bitterness reminiscent of citrus. The finish, long and vibrant, stretches on dry peat, toasted malt, natural vanilla, and sea salt, for a rare persistence sought after by connoisseurs.
The 2025 edition of this Springbank 5 Year Old 100 Proof perfectly embodies all the magic of the Springbank distillery: a whisky of character, proud of its terroir, as bold as it is timeless. At 57.1% ABV, it seduces as much by its controlled strength as by its aromatic depth, surprising for its age. Enjoyed neat to experience its full intensity, or enhanced with a drop of water to reveal more pastry and fruity notes, it will delight demanding amateurs and taste explorers.
The Springbank 5 Year Old 100 Proof Edition 2025, available at Clos des Spiritueux, stands out as much more than just a young malt: it is a manifesto of identity, a vibrant celebration of the raw and salty style of Campbeltown and a triumphant return of a profile so eagerly awaited by craft whisky enthusiasts.
