Product Description

Dive into a rare and sophisticated single malt with the Springbank 21 Year Old Single Cask, a limited edition bottling from 2016, drawn from an Oloroso sherry hogshead. With only 336 bottles produced exclusively for Société Dugas, this expression is not just a whisky—it’s a coveted piece of Campbeltown craftsmanship.

Bottled at 48.2% ABV, this whisky brings together two worlds: the iconic character of Springbank’s waxy, coastal spirit and the deep, dark richness imparted by the sherry cask. The result is a multi-dimensional dram, full of stone fruits, leather, honey, coastal salinity, and a long, satisfying finish.

Every sip is a celebration of time, patience, and artisanal integrity, making it an excellent choice for seasoned collectors and discerning whisky drinkers seeking a truly exceptional experience.

Tasting Notes

Nose:
Waxy and bold with layers of stone fruit, overripe banana, toffee, and a note of fresh hay. Additional hints of plum, heather, and subtle leather emerge with time. An engaging combination of earthiness and sweetness, balanced by a distinct sherry influence.

Palate:
Silky and rich, with flavors of caramelized raisins, cassis, and honeyed oak. Notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and a wisp of wood smoke gently interplay with dried fruits and a touch of coastal brine.

Finish:
Exceptionally long, revealing layers of aniseed, raisin sweetness, and a final wave of sherried depth and spice.

Overall:
This is a contemplative dram. Thought-provoking, intricate, and deserving of time and focus. The balance between sherry cask influence and Springbank’s distinctive character is simply masterful.
