Springbank 15 Year Old

The Springbank 15 Year Old is a brooding Campbeltown classic—rich, maritime, and unapologetically complex. Here’s a full sensory breakdown of this sherry-matured gem 🥃:

Region: Campbeltown, Scotland

ABV: 46%

Maturation: 100% Oloroso sherry casks

Style: Heavily sherried, lightly peated, maritime

Nose :- Cured meats & beef jerky — savory and smoky. Clove, mint, iodine — medicinal and herbal touches. Tinned prunes & Oxo cube — deep umami and dried fruit. Lobster creels — a nod to Springbank’s coastal DNA

Palate :-Sooty kiln smoke & tobacco leaf — earthy and peaty. Stewed prunes, figs, walnuts — rich, dark fruit. Demerara sugar & cocoa powder — bittersweet depth. Smoked meats — savory complexity with a chewy texture

Finish :- Soot, leather, walnuts — lingering and layered. Ebbing tide — maritime salinity that fades slowly

This is Springbank in its stormy dinner-jacket phase—elegant yet rugged. It’s best enjoyed after a meal or with a cigar, where its viscous texture and funky Campbeltown soul can fully unfold.
