Springbank 12 Cask Strength is a highly sought-after single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Springbank Distillery, located in Campbeltown, Scotland. As the name suggests, this whisky is bottled at cask strength, which means that it has not been diluted with water and is therefore much stronger than most other whiskies.
This particular expression is aged for 12 years in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, which gives it a complex and rich flavor profile. On the nose, you may detect notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak, along with a hint of smoke. On the palate, you'll likely taste a mix of sweet and savory flavors, such as dried fruits, toffee, and pepper, with a long and warming finish.
Because Springbank 12 Cask Strength is bottled in limited quantities and often sells out quickly, it has gained a reputation as a highly sought-after and collectible whisky among connoisseurs. Whether you're a seasoned whisky drinker or a newcomer to the world of single malts, Springbank 12 Cask Strength is definitely worth trying if you get the chance.
Distilleries often release whisky in batches, the same name but subtly different recipes, ABVs, maturation periods etc
