Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced at the family-owned Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland, this bottle represents the distillerys commitment to traditional floor-malting, double distillation (2 times), and full onsite production from barley to bottle. The 2025 release is matured for 21 years, and the cask composition is approximately 65% port casks, 25% bourbon casks, 5% rum casks and 5% sherry casks. The spirit is bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill-filtered, with natural colour allowing maturity, barley character and maritime seasoning to shine through.
