Springbank 10 Year Old Fino Cask — Sherry Wood Series | 55% ABV | 70cl
Springbank has been making whisky in Campbeltown since 1828 — family-owned, floor-malting its own barley, distilling two-and-a-half times in its own unique way. The Fino Cask release is part of the Sherry Wood Series: four years in refill bourbon for the oily Campbeltown backbone, then six years in Fino sherry casks. The result is drier and more restrained than the richer Oloroso expressions — almost Manzanilla-like in crispness, wrapped around the unmistakable Campbeltown funk.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Blood orange peel, brandy snaps, vanilla custard, tinned citrus, dried hay and faint coastal brine. The Campbeltown earthiness sits just beneath.
Palate: Remarkably oily. Preserved lemon, white pepper, beeswax and a dry sherry nuttiness — the Fino wood at its most elegant.
Finish: Long, drying and saline — orchard fruits fading over gentle embers.
