Springbank 10 Year Old Local Barley 2022 Release

DESCRIPTION

The Local Barley is an annual release from the Springbank distillery produced from barley grown in or around Campbeltown. Each year a local farmer is commissioned to grow barley on the distillery’s behalf to continue producing this ‘grain to glass’ limited edition. This 2022 edition is crafted from Belgravia barley grown at the Glencraigs Farm. Distilled in May 2011, matured for 10 years in ex-bourbon casks and bottled in December 2021. 15,000 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 51.6%.

OFFICIAL TASTING NOTES

Nose: Delicate oral notes kick off this dram, along with hints of digestive biscuit and a cereal note reminiscent of the malt barns. The bourbon influence is presented in notes of vanilla custard and custard creams. A fruity, cherry note develops over time.

Palate: The vanilla note from the nose develops on the palate into flavours of sweet, creamy Victoria sponge. There are hints of honey and syrup, balanced with fresh barley water.

Finish: A light and sweet finish, with hints of salted caramel to round off this dram.
