It's another Cask Strength release from Springbank! This 12 Year Old was drawn from a quartet of casks types - just under half of the whisky was aged in sherry casks, with 25% in bourbon, 25% in Burgundy wine casks, and 5% rested in Port casks. The result is a rich, sweet and earthy whisky, weighing in at 56.1% ABV.

Old leather and dry spices, rounded off by jammy berries and a whisp of smoke.
