Springbank Local Barley: A Tribute to Local Quality and Tradition

Springbank Local Barley is a range of single malt whiskies that celebrate local barley and traditional whisky production. This range is renowned for its authenticity, quality and unique flavour profile, making it a sought-after favourite among whisky enthusiasts.

Springbank Distillery , located in Campbeltown on the Scottish peninsula of Kintyre, is one of the few distilleries that still carries out the entire whisky production process - from malting to bottling - on site. This gives them complete control over every part of the process and ensures a consistently high quality.

The Local Barley range is particularly notable for using only barley grown in the vicinity of the distillery. This is a tribute to local farming and underlines Springbank's commitment to supporting the local community. It also gives each Local Barley edition a unique "terroir" that reflects the specific year and location 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 characteristic maritime and smoky undertones. However, each version has its own unique character, reflecting the specific barley and casks used.

Another notable feature of the Local Barley range is its limited availability. Each edition is a limited edition and once sold out, it is 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 celebration of local farming, traditional whisky making and the unique terroir of Campbeltown. It is a whisky that tells a story - a story of place, people and tradition. And it is a story that tastes amazing in a glass.
