Springbank Local Barley 9 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The 2018 release in Springbank's Local Barley series – the fourth of the current crop – distilled from barley grown on the Mull of Kintyre near Campbeltown – specifically optic from High Cattadale Farm, fewer than 10 miles from the distillery. It's matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks (80% bourbon), and balances the distillery's farmy and funky character against cask sweetness and spice.

Springbank Local Barley 9 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Biscuit-y malt and freshly ground nutmeg, backed up by spicy peat and salted peanuts.

Palate: Waves of rich honey start things off, followed by more baking deliciousness in the shape of Victoria sponge. Rye crackers, apricot and quince. A good waft of toasty smoke brings it all together.

Finish: Macadamia nuts, pear, sultana and coastal air.
