Springbank 21 Year Old 2023 Release | Springbank
Archive Details
A Mature Campbeltown Release
The 2023 Limited Release of Springbank 21 Year Old represents one of the distillery’s most sought-after annual bottlings. Distilled two and a half times using traditional methods, this mature single malt spent more than two decades ageing in oak casks before being bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration or added colouring. Rich, coastal, and deeply complex, it captures the unmistakable character that has established Springbank as one of the world’s most revered distilleries.

- Palate: Rich and waxy with dark fruits, toffee, maritime salinity, rum sweetness, subtle peat, and layered oak complexity.
- Finish: Long, earthy, and warming with lingering spice, coastal character, mature oak, and soft smoky notes.

About the Distillery
Springbank remains one of the whisky world’s most respected traditional distilleries, producing whisky entirely on-site in Campbeltown using historic methods rarely preserved elsewhere in Scotland. Produced at the family owned distillery on the Kintyre Peninsula in western Scotland, Springbank releases have achieved cult status among collectors and enthusiasts globally. Limited production, floor malting, and a highly individual house style continue to reinforce the distillery’s reputation among whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
About the Bottling
Annual Springbank 21 Year Old releases have become increasingly difficult to source due to rising worldwide demand and comparatively small outturns. The 2023 edition showcases the distillery’s ability to balance multiple cask types while preserving the unmistakable oily, coastal spirit character that defines mature Springbank whisky.
