Springbank 1989 28 Year Old | Single Cask #591 | Loch Fyne Whiskies | Campbeltown | 50cl
The 1989 vintage of Springbank has near-mythical status among Campbeltown enthusiasts — the late 1980s and early 1990s produced some of the most celebrated spirit ever drawn from a cask there, characterised by richness of texture, depth of maritime character and a complexity that decades in wood amplify rather than diminish. This bottling comes from Loch Fyne Whiskies, the legendary Inveraray retailer, who drew Cask #591 at 28 years old. A single cask from this era at natural strength. There are very few bottles. There will never be another from this cask.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich dried fruits, polished leather, wax and old oak. Sea air, subtle earthen peat and a quality of maturation that only nearly three decades in a single cask can provide.
Palate: Full-bodied and complex. Dried apricot and candied orange peel alongside dark chocolate, tobacco leaves and long coastal salinity. The Campbeltown character unmistakable even at this age.
Finish: Extraordinary length. Dried fruits, smoke and oak spice fading over many minutes, ending in a clean mineral warmth.
