Springbank 13 Year Old Local Barley 2024 Release

Springbank 13 Year Old "Local Barley" 2024 Release is an exceptional single malt Scotch whiskey crafted by Springbank Distillers Ltd in Campbeltown, Scotland. Attention to regional tradition is evident in this rich expression, bottled at 54.1% alcohol by volume (ABV) to preserve its robust character.

This limited-release whiskey pays homage to Springbank's grain‑to‑glass philosophy, using locally grown barley harvested in 2010. After 13 years of maturation aged in a carefully selected combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry oak casks, the whiskey is presented without chill filtration or added coloring, allowing its full flavor spectrum to shine.

Upon pouring, it displays a golden-amber color, reflecting its lengthy maturation. The nose opens with bright tropical notes such as pineapple, mango, and ripe orchard fruit, moving into a background of sweet barley and seaside minerality. A hint of salinity accentuates the full-bodied texture's rich flavors, including peppery spice, honeyed oats, lush red berries, and delicate malt. There are hints of toasted grains, mild peat smoke, and a delicate herbal sweetness that lingers nicely throughout the lengthy finish.

A collectible expression, Springbank 13 Year Old Local Barley 2024 Release celebrates Campbeltown's terroir and artisanal craftsmanship. It is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to unlock its layered complexity, making it an ideal choice for whiskey lovers seeking a refined, regionally focused tasting experience.
