Springbank is one of the last truly independent distilleries in Scotland — floor-malting its own barley, distilling on-site, and bottling every drop in Campbeltown without compromise. The 10 Year is the distillery's flagship expression, and the Sherry Fino edition takes it somewhere special: a maturation regime that marries the distillery's signature briny, coastal character with the nutty, oxidative influence of fino sherry casks.
The result is a whisky of remarkable complexity for its age. Fino sherry, drier and more delicate than oloroso, adds a subtle layer of salted almond, dried citrus, and gentle spice without overwhelming Springbank's inherent maritime DNA. This is a whisky that rewards patience and attention — the kind of dram that reveals something new with every pour.
The nose opens with sea salt, green apple, and a whisper of almond and dried apricot. On the palate, flavors of brine, toasted oak, vanilla, and dried fruit unfold with a medium-full body and a beautifully integrated sherry influence. The finish is long, saline, and gently spiced — quintessentially Campbeltown.
