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.

Springbank
Seen by some as Scotland’s, if not the world’s greatest distillery, Springbank is a unique proposition. Not much has changed at Springbank since its inception in 1828; it still follows a historical oddity of distilling, it remains owned by J&A Mitchell and it still uses floor malting for 100% of its requirements. And all of this from the fairly remote location of Campbeltown, which is the former distilling capital of Scotland. Three distinct styles are produced at the distillery with a triple distilled whisky (Hazelburn), a heavily peated (Longrow) and the classic Springbank. More than ever before, these are in huge demand from the UK and international distributors. Due to the historical nature of the distillery and the methods they follow, production cannot be increased too dramatically to accommodate rising demand. Sadly, it looks like we’ll all have to chase a little harder for anything Springbank-related for a while to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I bid on the auctions?
You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
Why does the timer extend on a lot?
In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
