The Local Barley is an annual publication produced from barley grown in or around Campbeltown. Each year a local farmer is commissioned to grow barley on our behalf to continue producing this limited edition "from grain to glass".
Different farms, barley varieties, cask maturation and the time the whiskey spends in the casks from one batch to the next give our customers a unique taste experience every time.

Springbank 10 Year Old (Local Barley) was distilled in May 2011 and bottled in December 2021. The whiskey is distilled from "local barley" grown on the Kintyre Peninsula, a few kilometers from Springbank.
AROMA
Hints of biscuits and a grain note reminiscent of malt barns. The bourbon induction is expressed in notes of vanilla cream and vanilla cream. A fruity cherry note develops over time.
TASTE
The vanilla note from the fragrance develops in the mouth into a scent of sweet, creamy "victoria sponge". There are hints of honey and syrup, balanced with fresh barley water.
FINISH
A light and sweet taste, with a touch of salted caramel to finish this dram.
