Some background: |
Owned and run by our own
Gordon Wright, and his family, since 1828. Springbank is the oldest family
owned distillery in Scotland, as well as the last one still to carry out
the whole process from 100% floor malting through to bottling on the same
site. Campbeltown is infamous for the extraordinary high number of pubs
and churches per capita. It must be that the citizens, having consumed
Scotland's best dram, feel the need to give thanks to the Almighty.

| Tasting Note: | "Rich, fruity and soothing. Deep amber with crimson hues. A very rich and fruity whisky balanced nicely by dry oak notes. Thick texture - almost syrupy. Flavours uniquely combine subtle notes of the sea (seaweed, sea salt) with suggestions of coconut. A soothing dram for after dinner, with a finish as long as a winter's night." | |
