Description

For a period, Campbeltown was the undisputed Whisky Capital of the World, boasting over 30 distilleries operating simultaneously at its peak. Locally available peat, barley and coal, coupled with a quick steamship service to Glasgow meant this thriving industry lasted into the early 20th Century. Alas; ultimately (and perhaps inevitably) it proved unsustainable, and by 1935 the bubble had well and truly burst. This Springbank 13 Year Old Local Barley, distilled in June 2010 and bottled in December 2023, is part of the esteemed Local Barley series. It was crafted from Belgravia barley sourced from Glencraigs Farm in Campbeltown and matured in a combination of 60% ex-Bourbon and 40% ex-Sherry casks. This limited edition release of 8,400 bottles embodies the essence of its terroir and Springbank's traditional, hands-on approach to whisky making.

Nose
Complex and multi-layered with vibrant fruits like tinned pineapple, nectarines, mangos, and citrus-y gelato. Notes of freshly malted barley, honey, baked bread, roasted nuts, and a subtle floral essence. Hints of wet hay, silage, varnish, and a faint whisper of peat smoke and brine. Some vanilla from bourbon casks, church candles, and engine oils.
Palate
Oily, viscous, and creamy mouthfeel. Initial sweetness of toffee and caramel, followed by fresh green apples, ripe pears, and strawberries. Peppery and malty notes, brandy schnapps, parma violets, and warm baking spices like cinnamon and clove. Hints of charred lemons, wet pebbles, petrichor, salt, wood smoke, coffee grounds, earthy liquorice root, and subtle yellow fruits. Balanced waxes and barley sweetness.
Finish
Long and satisfying with lingering sweetness and gentle smokiness. Notes of malt, dried fruits, subtle spices, peach, and lots of minerality. More grass notes and cereals, maritime salt, and a sliver of mint. Pleasant spiciness and a lingering saltiness.
