A tribute to true craftsmanship: Springbank Local Barley 10 Years Old 2021
Springbank Local Barley 10 Years Old 2021 is a sought-after and highly characterful whisky from the iconic Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Known to many as "the amazing and hard to find 10 YO Local Barley Springbank whisky from 2021", this is a bottle that is sure to make a splash with connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
What makes this locally produced single malt special is not just the iconic distillery, but the close connection to the surrounding area. The barley is not just Scottish – it is grown at Glencraigs Farm near Campbeltown, and the type is the coveted Belgravia barley. The combination of local terroir and authentic craftsmanship creates a whisky style with depth, complexity and an elegant balance.
With an alcohol content of 51.6%, it is a powerful but extremely balanced dram. The whisky is distilled 2.5 times – a technique unique to Springbank – and offers a light peat smoke that comes from a gentle drying: 6 hours with peat smoke and 30 hours with hot air. The gentle smoke (approximately 10-15 ppm) gives a smooth and complex profile without overpowering the natural notes of barley and cask.
Bottled in May 2021, after being distilled in May 2011, this 10 year old whisky is a testament to Springbank's patience and care. Only 15,000 bottles have been released, making it a collector's bottle and a rarity on the market.
Springbank is now the only distillery in Scotland to malt all its own barley – and it all happens under one roof. They use no added colour or chill filtration, giving you a whisky experience as nature and the distiller intended.
This edition marks a true tribute to the local, the traditional and the uncompromising craftsmanship – and is an indispensable addition to any whisky lover's collection.
