Springbank 5 Year Old 100 Proof

Springbank 5 Year Old 100 Proof is a bold and lively Campbeltown single malt Scotch whisky from the historic Springbank Distillery, distilled, matured and bottled by one of Scotland’s few remaining traditional family-run producers. It’s aged for 5 years exclusively in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 100 Proof (57.1 % ABV), a nod to the classic British strength standard and a hallmark of uncut, expressive character.

On the nose there’s a bright, energetic mix of green apple, citrus zest, gorse bush, wine gums and a mineral edge, leading into a palate that balances gentle peat smoke with sweet notes of icing sugar, vanilla and white chocolate, while developing intriguing vegetal and nutty layers (tomato plant, sunflower seeds, linseed oil). The finish is long and fresh with honey and ripe gooseberry lingering, youthful yet surprisingly complete for its age, showing both the maritime freshness and traditional Springbank style.
