Description
The distillery tell us that "The Springbank 25 Years Old marks a celebration of true Victorian whisky production at Scotland's most traditional distillery. Long established production techniques together with the knowledge and experience of our craftsmen are used to malt barley on traditional malting floors and distil this most handcrafted of spirits."
This version departs from recent editions of the 25yo where maturation combined bourbon and sherry casks into a final port pipe vatting, whereas this edition has been matured exclusively in refill sherry casks.
