SPRINGBANK - 5 years - 100 Proof - 57.1% - Edition 2025
A legend returns: the Springbank 5 Year Old 100 Proof, presented in its new 2025 edition, brings back to life one of the distillery's historic icons. True to its artisanal DNA and raw identity, Springbank offers a young, fiery, and intensely expressive whisky, both a tribute to the past and an affirmation of an unchanged style: sincere, salty, and vibrant.
Distilled, aged, and bottled in Campbeltown, this 5-year-old 100 Proof is an unchill-filtered, uncolored single malt, bottled at 57.1% cask strength, in the finest tradition of the house. Despite its youth, it impresses with its density and complexity. Aged in carefully selected bourbon and sherry casks, it combines the directness of the Springbank distillate: oily, lightly peaty, and mineral with the delicious richness of wood. The maritime influence of aging by the sea sculpts a unique balance between power and freshness.
On the nose, the whisky immediately asserts itself: lemon zest, green apple, malted cereals, and sea salt, joined by a touch of vanilla, blond caramel, and dry smoke. Aeration reveals notes of honey, white pepper, subtle peat, and dried herbs. On the palate, the texture is oily and full, typical of Springbank, with a vibrant attack that opens with flavors of toasted cereals, yellow fruits, toffee, and spices. The power of the cask strength is perfectly balanced with saline tension and a subtle citrus bitterness. The long, lively finish reveals a beautiful persistence of dry peat, toasted malt, vanilla, and sea salt.
This new 2025 edition captures everything that makes Springbank so magical: an uncompromising whisky, both rooted in its terroir and bursting with energy. At 57.1%, it offers controlled intensity and unexpected depth for its age. Enjoy it neat for those seeking a more intense experience, or with a drop of water to unleash more pastry and fruity notes.
The Springbank 5 Year Old 100 Proof 2025 release is much more than a young malt: it is a statement of identity, a celebration of the raw, salty character of Campbeltown, and a triumphant return of a style that connoisseurs have long awaited.
