This version has a light peat smoke, with a phenol reading of around 10-15 parts per million, indicating a subtle but noticeable smoky flavor. This has been achieved by drying the malt for 6 hours with peat smoke and then for 30 hours with hot air. Furthermore, this whiskey is distilled 2.5 times, a process that adds complexity and finesse.
Springbank is known for producing three distinct types of whisky: the classic Springbank, Longrow, which is heavily smoked, and Hazelburn, which is unsmoked and triple distilled. Of the small Campbeltown distillery's annual production of around 175,000 litres, Springbank makes up 80%, with Longrow and Hazelburn together making up the remaining 20%.
Springbank is a favorite among whiskey geeks worldwide, not least because it is the only distillery in Scotland that malts all its own barley. The distillery never adds coloring to their whiskey and does not use cold filtration, which ensures a pure and authentic taste experience.
This Springbank Local Barley 2021 is a tribute to traditional distilling methods and the close collaboration with local agriculture. It is a whiskey that deserves to be enjoyed and appreciated for its unique character and quality.
