Springbank 12 Year Old Burgundy Wood
(0.75l, 53.5%)
A bold, lightly-peated Single Malt aged 100% in ex-Burgundy Wine casks..
Springbank Distillery is one of the precious few holdouts in three, unique ways. The first is that they are still family owned — the Mitchell family has owned and operated Springbank officially since 1828. The second is that they are one of only two distilleries left in Campbelltown. The third is that they are one of only two distilleries in Scotland that controls all aspects of production on the same premises — from malting to bottling. Springbank produces a range of Whiskies across the favor spectrum, from sweeter “finished” drams through peated and spicy sippers in three brands, including Longrow, Hazelburn, and their namesake Springbank.
Springbank 12 Year Burgundy Wood is one of those rare limited editions offerings that you’re glad you had and look for each time they are released. In a word, it’s “bold.” Like all Springbank Single Malts, this spirit is lightly peated, lending a mineral-smoke quality. Importantly, it’s aged a full twelve years in first-fill Burgundy Wine barrels and sparkled with fresh summer fruit notes.
Smartass corner:
Uniquely, some Springbank Single Malt is distilled twice, and the rest is distilled three times. Thus, they often say that it has been distilled two and a half times.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most single malts are matured longer).
