Springbank 15yo – 2025

Description

The 2025 edition of Springbank’s flagship 15-year-old single malt brings together long-matured character and classic Campbeltown soul. Matured exclusively in sherry casks, this whisky is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46 % ABV — embodying Springbank’s traditional full-flavour style built on decades of meticulous distillation and maturation.

Rich and complex, this whisky offers a deep, layered experience — ideal for those who appreciate a sherried, slightly peaty Scotch with maritime character and mature depth.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Deep and inviting — expect aromas of dark chocolate, dried fruit (raisins, figs), marzipan, soft spice and subtle oak. Notes of leather, old tobacco and a faint coastal salinity add to the complexity.
• Palate: Full-bodied and rich. Flavours of dried plums and raisins, mocha or dark-chocolate bitterness, walnuts and nuts combine with gentle smokiness and a trace of sea spray/mineral salt. A subtle hint of peat or kiln smoke may surface, adding depth and balance.
• Finish: Long and warming — sherry-led fruit and oak fade into earthy leather, tobacco-leaf, cocoa and lingering saltiness — a true Campbeltown finish.

Overall Character:

Springbank 15 is a mature, robust yet elegant single malt — a classic example of sherry-cask aging married to the distillery’s coastal, slightly peaty profile. It’s a whisky for contemplative sipping, ideal after dinner or by a fire, for those who appreciate complexity, depth, and a whisky that tells the story of its sea-sprayed, wind-tossed home.
