Released in 2018 this is the 21 year old annual release from Campbeltown's Springbank distillery. Matured in a combination of bourbon casks (30%) and rum casks (70%). Bottled at 46%.

Nose: A burst of heather and freshly mowed grass followed by honey, pear skin and wood shavings. Hints of butter; cheesecake, fresh cream and digestive biscuit.

Taste: Elegant and gentle. Butterscotch and vanilla, sugar cane and molasses develop as the influence from the rum casks engulfs the palate with apricots, peaches and paprika.

Finish: A soft smokiness is present in the background. Toffee apples, raisins and oat biscuits emerge. In the foreground, peppercorn, almonds and apricot jam are prominent.
