The 4th release in the 5-expression Springbank Local Barley range. Made using optic barley from High Cattadale Farm. Distilled in July 2009, matured in 80% bourbon casks and 20% sherry casks and bottled in October 2018. A total of 9,700 bottles were produced. Bottled at 57.7%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Traditional Springbank aromas; saltiness, sea shells and fresh oysters bursting through. Followed just as intensely by pepper-jack cheese, honeycomb and vanilla pods.

Palate: Whipped cream, pear drops and a heathery note are quickly engulfed by barley water, sherbet mix, sugar cane, nectarines and dandelions.

Finish: A gentle dry peat circulates before squashed plums, raisins, cracked pepper and dry straw emerge.
