Tasting Notes

• Nose: Elegant and layered, opening with orchard fruits such as ripe peaches and apricots, alongside soft vanilla cream, honey, and gentle spice. A wisp of coastal breeze lingers in the background.

• Palate: Full and refined, with notes of spiced oak, salted caramel, and subtle peat smoke. Hints of dried fruits, heather honey, and roasted nuts weave together, creating a beautifully complex texture.

• Finish: Long, warming, and balanced. Sweet fruits and vanilla give way to lingering spice and a faint maritime salinity, a signature of Springbank’s Campbeltown heritage.

Character

A whisky of exceptional grace and balance, the Springbank 1990 – 30 Year Old showcases the perfect harmony between distillate character, gentle cask influence, and the richness that only thirty years of maturation can bring. With just over one hundred bottles ever released, this is a rare chance to experience the soul of Campbeltown at its finest.
