Springbank Cask Strength Aged 12 Years Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 🥃 imagine a rugged coastline in a glass, where salt, peat, and orchard fruits tussle like wind and waves:

🌊 Overview

Springbank Cask Strength 12-Year-Old is a Campbeltown single malt that shows why this tiny Scotch region has a cult following. At cask strength, it wears its age and provenance proudly — unfiltered, undiluted, and unapologetically rich. Campbeltown’s maritime soul sings through every drop.

👃 Nose (Aroma)

•  Warm sea spray and brine, like a breeze off the Firth of Clyde
• Golden orchard fruits  crisp apple, pear, a hint of quince
• Gentle peat smoke woven with toasted oak
• A whisper of malted barley sweetness and vintage leather

 This nose feels like wandering through an old bookstore on a foggy harbor.

👄 Palate (Taste)

•  Bold arrival, full-bodied and spicy
• Rich caramel and honey layered over dry orchard fruit
• Salty minerality, like a light brine counterpoint
• Earthy peat, not overly smoky but grounding
• Oak spice that tightropes between cinnamon and clove

There’s a satisfying tension here  sweet meets sea meets smoke.

🔥 Finish

Long and warming, with lingering oak tannin, a trace of black pepper, and that salty Campbeltown signature settling like sand in the palate.

🥃 Why It’s Special

Springbank’s 12-year cask strength is more than a whisky  it’s a small-batch sea-bottle message. It captures Campbeltown’s maritime quirks and Springbank’s artisanal spirit: traditional floor malting, partial on-site distillation, and minimal intervention. The result is authentic, unvarnished character.

 🍶 How to Enjoy

• Neat first  savor that uncut punch and authentic expression.
• Add a few drops of water to unlock hidden layers of fruit and spice.
• Skip heavy mixers; this whisky isn’t here to be tamed, just appreciated.
