Sensory Description:
The Springbank 5 Year 100 Proof opens with vibrant aromas of lemon peel, sea spray, and malted barley, intertwined with hints of vanilla, fresh oak, and light peat smoke. On the palate, it bursts with youthful intensity. Flavours of honeyed cereal, green apple, and salted caramel develop alongside notes of brine, charred oak, and coastal herbs. The bourbon cask influence adds vanilla sweetness and spice, balancing the spirit’s maritime edge. The finish is long and warming, with echoes of peat ember, citrus oil, and sea salt lingering gracefully.
Distiller’s Background:
Established in 1828, Springbank Distillery remains one of Scotland’s few family-owned and fully self-sufficient distilleries, performing every stage of whisky production on-site from malting and distillation to bottling. Revered for its commitment to tradition, minimal automation, and unique partial triple distillation, Springbank stands as a bastion of old-world whisky-making in Campbeltown, Scotland’s smallest whisky region.
Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat or with a few drops of cool water at room temperature (18–20°C / 64–68°F) to open its bright citrus and smoky complexity. Perfect alongside smoked seafood, aged cheddar, or rich desserts like crème brûlée.
Vibrant, coastal, and uncompromisingly authentic, Springbank 5 Year Old 100 Proof is a spirited young malt that showcases the raw beauty of Campbeltown craftsmanship, an elemental whisky made by hand, for true enthusiasts of Scotland’s maritime soul.
