Springbank 2000 Hogshead Cask No.112

1x Springbank 2000 Hogshead (Fresh Bourbon) Cask No.112, held in bond at Springbank distillery, Campbeltown. The cask was filled in 2000, it has been maturing in a bonded warehouse at the Springbank distillery ever since. The cask was re-gauged in the 10th of February 2025, following are the results of the re-gauge. Original Bulk Litres 204.0 / New Bulk Litres: 131.8 Original Strength 63.7% / New Strength: 43.3% Original Litres of Alcohol 129.9 / New Litres of Alcohol: 57.9 Tasting Notes by Angus MacRaild (Whisky Consultant & Author) Nose: a very pure and distillate-driven example of Springbank, with strong distillery character. Immediate aromas of lemon rind, waxes and mineral oil. Also chalky characteristics, sheep wool and clean coastal impressions. The ABV makes this a lighter profile of Springbank but still classical and elegant. Palate: a good oily and waxy profile, good body despite the softness from the low cask strength. Lots of linseed and olive oil impressions, lanolin, delicate medicinal qualities and notes of gorse and sandalwood. Also quite a few herbal impressions like verbena. Finish: medium length, back on herbal notes, bitter lemon, slightly salty and still quite waxy and mineral. Comments: an elegant and slightly softer profile Springbank that still shows strong distillery character and high drinkability. But given the low cask strength it definitely needs to be bottled soon. IMPORTANT: The buyer of this cask must arrange to remove the cask from Springbank Distillery within 90 days of the auction ending, unless already a Cask Owners Member at Springbank.
