Tone: Campbeltown Artisan / Maritime Malt Master
Springbank’s 5 Year 114 Proof is a rare marriage of youth and character distilled in the heart of Campbeltown, matured for a short but intense period, and bottled at a robust 114 proof, to capture raw spirit energy and coastal nuance. With Springbank’s time-honored onsite malting, triple on the nose distillation style, and warehouse influence, this whisky stands out for its immediacy and authenticity.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Fresh sea salt breeze, damp hay, vanilla shortbread, subtle peat smoke, and lemon-zest brightness. (Reviewers cite fresh orchard fruit, creamy malt, and gentle Ash peat)
- Palate: Bold entry of toasted oak and cracked pepper, followed by sweet sugar-cane caramel, green apple skin, ginger spice, and light coastal brine under current.
- Finish: Lingering with warm rye bread dry-down, sea-air minerality, faint leather, and a long pepper-spice tail.
Serving Suggestions
- Neat Let the glass rest for a minute; breathe in the ocean-air salt and malt layers.
- With a Single Large Ice Cube Chill slightly to soften oak edges and reveal fruitier layers.

Why It Matters
In a market dominated by long aged expressions, Springbank’s 5 Year 114 Proof reminds us of what Campbeltown is built on: maritime character, hands-on traditional malting, and spirit forward maturity. Bottled at higher proof, this young expression offers serious flavour impact and a raw connection to the distillery’s unique style. For fans of Springbank and whisky explorers alike, this is a must-taste moment.
