Springbank - 18 Year Old (2000) Scoma

Springbank 18 Year Old (2000) Scoma is a single cask Campbeltown malt bottled for German whisky specialist Scoma, drawn from a sherry cask and released at a bold 56.3% ABV. Distilled in August 2000 and bottled in March 2019 after 18 years of maturation, it’s a classic “cult Springbank” proposition: proper distillery provenance, sherry influence, and a very tight outturn of just 247 bottles.

Tasting Notes (typical profile for sherry-cask Springbank at high strength)
Nose: Dried fruits and dark toffee, with orange peel, leather, and Springbank’s trademark “workshop” notes (wax, oil, and a touch of polish), plus a subtle coastal smokiness.
Palate: Big, oily and complex — fruitcake, cocoa and roasted nuts, balanced by maritime salt, earthy spice, and a slightly funky, industrial edge.
Finish: Long, drying and savoury-sweet, with lingering sherry richness, coastal smoke, and spiced oak.

Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- Single cask Springbank for Scoma is a strong collector combination, and these German-market bottlings are often hard to replace once they disappear.
- Sherry cask maturation suits Springbank’s oily, slightly funky character, adding depth without flattening the distillery DNA.
- 56.3% ABV and only 247 bottles makes it a proper enthusiast’s bottle with real scarcity baked in.
