Springbank Local Barley: A Tribute to Local Quality and Tradition
Springbank Local Barley is a range of single malt whiskeys that celebrate local barley and traditional whiskey production. This range is known for its authenticity, quality and unique flavor profile, making it a sought-after favorite among whiskey enthusiasts.
Springbank Distillery , located in Campbeltown on the Scottish peninsula of Kintyre, is one of the few distilleries that still carries out the entire whiskey production process - from malting to bottling - on site. This gives them full control over every part of the process and ensures consistently high quality.
The Local Barley range is particularly notable because it uses only barley grown near the distillery. This is a tribute to local agriculture and underlines Springbank's commitment to supporting the local community. It also gives each edition of Local Barley a unique "terroir" that reflects the specific year and place where the barley was grown.
In terms of flavour, Springbank Local Barley is known for its complexity and depth. It typically has notes of honey, vanilla and fruit, along with Springbank's signature maritime and smoky undertones. However, each edition has its own unique character that reflects the specific barley and casks used.
Another notable feature of the Local Barley range is its limited availability. Each edition is limited edition and once sold out, it's gone forever. This makes each bottle a rare and valuable collector's item.
Ultimately, Springbank Local Barley is more than just a whisky. It is a tribute to local agriculture, traditional whiskey production and the unique terroir of Campbeltown. It is a whiskey that tells a story - a story of place, people and tradition. And it's a story that tastes great in a glass.
