Springbank 12 Year Old Burgundy Single Malt Whisky

After malting and lightly peating the barley (using locally cut peat), the distillers at Springbank mill and mash it in cast-iron mash tuns that are nearly a century old. The pure spring water used during the mashing process is sourced from Crosshill Loch, which in turn is fed by springs seeping from the northern slopes of 1,100-foot tall Beinn Ghuilean. After mashing the grains, the wash is slowly fermented over the course of 70 hours — one of the longest fermentation processes in Scotland — before being distilled. Because some of the wash is distilled twice and some is distilled three times, Springbank Whisky is said to be distilled two and a half times. Introduced in 2016, Springbank 12 Year Burgundy Wood is a special single malt, aged for 12 years in ex-wine casks from Burgundy, France. A limited 10,260 bottles were released. With mid-peaty notes, and flavors of French wine, this special release is bottled at a respectable 53.3% ABV.
