Tasting Notes:

Springbank 1991 @ 50% alc.vol (US 100% proof)
Nose is subtle and complex as it starts creamy and develops to sooty smoke and citrus zest with coconut. Firm structure with briny character on show. Plenty of flavour development.
Passion fruit. Hard and strong. Mouthfilling and complex with good length. Jumps and bites. A lovely young and powerful Springbank.

Status: Open

Founded in 1828 the distillery lays claim to being the oldest family independent owned distillery in Scotland. Located on the eastern shores of the Mull of Kintyre, Springbank sees the whole process of whisky production taking place at the distillery. From malting its own barley, peat is cut by distillery staff, malt is dried on the kilning floor and the whisky is matured and bottled on-site. Water is sourced from the Crosshill Loch. The Springbank Distillery has never chill filtered or artificial colourings to its Single Malts. Springbank is regarded to be in a class of its own with a thick, rich and briny quality and a minimal iodine influence. Its character has a smoky, woody aroma and a flavour profile that hints of peat and other coastal influences. Develops beautifully to a full, well-balanced and creamy finish. Using different distillation methods, the distillery does produce a heavier peated malt whisky called Longrow and a malt called Hazelburn.
