SPRINGBANK - 12 years - Cask Strength - Edition 2025 - 55.9%
An absolute benchmark for lovers of authentic single malts, Springbank embodies the artisanal spirit of Campbeltown, the legendary peninsula once nicknamed the “whisky capital of the world.” Entirely carried out on-site—malting, distilling, aging, and bottling—Springbank's production remains one of the most traditional in Scotland. The 2025 Edition of the 12-year-old Cask Strength is part of this tradition: a whisky of character, powerful and balanced, where the distiller's hand is evident at every moment.
This version is bottled at 55.9% cask strength, without chill filtration or the addition of coloring, thus preserving the original density and texture of the malt. The blend combines bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, offering both the vanilla and lemon freshness of American oak and the spicy and fruity richness of European oak. Matured entirely in Campbeltown, this 12-year-old reveals an exemplary maturity, halfway between the fire of youth and the depth of a mature whisky.
On the nose, the profile is immediately Springbank: dried fruits, acacia honey, candied citrus zest, and light peat in the background. Then come notes of blond tobacco, soft leather, toasted walnuts, and salted caramel, on a slightly iodized background. On the palate, the power of the cask strength asserts itself with a full and lively attack, quickly balanced by the richness of the fruit. Aromas of roasted peach, baked apple, sweet spices, toasted oak, and honey blend into a creamy texture. The finish, of impressive length, alternates between delicate smoke, sea salt, and noble bitterness of the wood.
This Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength 2025 Edition is a whisky that is both raw and sophisticated, typical of the Campbeltown style: full-bodied, saline, slightly oily, and wonderfully balanced. Served neat, it delivers its full strength; with a drop of water, it reveals an even greater aromatic complexity. Enjoy slowly, at the end of a meal or at a connoisseur's evening, where its depth will pair wonderfully with intense dark chocolate, mature cheese, or an elegant cigar.
