Springbank 11 Year Local Barley Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The second release of Springbank's annual Local Barley series was distilled in 2006. Made using bere barley from Aros Farm in Kintyre, it was aged for 11 years. A sweet whisky with a hint of smoke and notes of tablet, butter, fruit and an underlying minerality.

Springbank 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: What an incredible nose, to start with marmalade and honey, then mineral notes from the Kintyre peninsula. As it opens up, freshly baked bread with sweet notes of sun dried bananas to contrast with salted caramel topping.

Palate: The promise given in the nose continues, a lovely creaminess and sweetness of grapes, custard, honeycomb and marshmallow. This is balanced with salted popcorn and liquorice, and an ever present, hint of peat.

Finish: There’s a nutty quality about this, almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts as well as an air of indulgence, rich and buttery with an elegant finish that keeps on giving.
