Springbank 100 Proof is a bold, comfort-driven Campbeltown single malt bottled at traditional British proof. Thick with caramel, malted barley, savoury warmth, and gentle coastal notes, this high-strength whisky delivers weight and texture rather than finesse. A hearty, food-like dram that showcases Springbank’s character with the volume turned up.
The 2025 Hazelburn 8 Oloroso Cask is a bold, unpredictable Campbeltown whisky that leans into tension rather than balance. Triple distilled, fully sherry matured, and bottled at 48.2% ABV, this release delivers a whirlwind of dried fruit, savoury depth, and minty intensity — a challenging but deeply engaging dram for Springbank fans.
Springbank isn’t just a distillery — it’s a whisky obsession. From floor maltings and direct-fired stills to the iconic Springbank, Longrow, and Hazelburn ranges, this is Campbeltown whisky at its most stubborn, oily, and brilliant.
I received a sample of this Springbank 1994 by Spheric Spirits for my birthday, and what a treat it was!
This Springbank Local Barley is a gem of a whisky. But it does need some time to fully develop.
My tasting notes on the ever so popular Springbank 10. Does it live up to the hype?
