A 17 year old single cask Springbank from the Archives series, distilled in Campbeltown in 1999 and matured in a single sherry hogshead. It was bottled on 3 October 2016 at a cask strength of 50.3%, in a 70cl bottle.
Smoke and mineral notes lead the nose, followed by raisins, sweet orange, pear and green grapes, with some spice. On the palate, cane sugar and minerality meet ripe pear and dried fruit, then dark chocolate, cinnamon and white pepper.
The long finish brings the smoke back to the front, with pepper and a pleasantly dry note.
