It’s exactly the sort of modern indie Springbank that gets people paying attention—serious distillery pedigree, an interesting cask story, and a flavour profile that should lean into Springbank’s oily, coastal character with a brighter bourbon-cask lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Details\u003cbr\u003e- Distillery: Springbank\u003cbr\u003e- Region: Campbeltown, Scotland\u003cbr\u003e- Style: Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003cbr\u003e- Bottler: Murray McDavid\u003cbr\u003e- Series: Mission Gold\u003cbr\u003e- Vintage\/Distilled: 1993\u003cbr\u003e- Bottled: Summer 2017\u003cbr\u003e- Age: 23 Year Old (you mention 23; your bottle info line says 20 — confirm the correct age statement on the label)\u003cbr\u003e- Cask\/Maturation: Double matured in a 1st fill Koval bourbon cask\u003cbr\u003e- Cask Number: 150033\u003cbr\u003e- Cask Type (as listed): Bourbon hogshead (confirm if the label states “Koval bourbon cask” vs “bourbon hogshead”)\u003cbr\u003e- ABV: 50.40%\u003cbr\u003e- Bottle Size: 70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes (typical profile for mature bourbon-cask Springbank)\u003cbr\u003eNose: Lemon zest, vanilla and honeyed malt, with Springbank’s signature wax\/oil and a subtle coastal smokiness.\u003cbr\u003ePalate: Oily and layered — toffee, citrus and baked apple, followed by peppery spice, light oak tannin, and a faint “workshop” note (polish, wood, and earthy complexity).\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Long, drying and maritime, with lingering vanilla, citrus peel, gentle smoke and spiced oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On\u003cbr\u003e- Springbank + single cask indie bottling is always a strong draw, and the Mission Gold series adds extra collector interest.\u003cbr\u003e- The 1st fill Koval bourbon cask double maturation is a distinctive twist that should bring extra vanilla, sweetness and brightness without drowning the distillery character.\u003cbr\u003e- Bottled at 50.4% ABV, it’s in the enthusiast sweet spot: plenty of flavour intensity, but still approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition \/ Notes for Buyers\u003cbr\u003ePlease check photos for fill level, label condition, capsule integrity and any tube\/box wear.
