70 cl / Campbeltown Single Malt / 51.6% ABV

"Nose: The colour is about as pale as I’ve seen on a Local Barley release. Truly the opposite of last year’s release. It’s a pretty recognisable Springbank, not too dissimilar from the regular 10-year-old. Earthy smoke, soot, ozone and wet pebbles, but also some vanilla ice cream, grapefruit and lemon pith, with just a sprinkle of nougat.
Taste: Proper oily mouthfeel with some charred lemon, tobacco leaves and aniseed. It displays a nice salinity and earthy peat notes alongside a fruity sweetness. There’s honey, mango and lime zest.
Finish: Sweet smoke, sprinkle of salt and wet pebbles. Long. 9/10" - Words of Whisky
