Springbank 12 Year Old Calvados Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Following distillation, Springbank 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Calvados Finish is matured for six years in refill American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. After its initial maturation, the whisky is double-barreled, or finished, in ex-calvados casks for an additional six years (calvados is a type of French brandy distilled from apples). "We're always looking for new types of casks to try and the calvados is the latest in the series," says Gavin McLachlan, Springbank's Distillery Manager. "The important thing from our point of view when it comes to buying casks is that, first of all, the physical quality of the cask is sound—the cask is well-made and won't leak. We also take into account the quality of the product which the cask previously contained and, obviously, the flavor that product will give. The calvados casks we used for this bottling ticked all of those boxes."
