Springbank 12 Year Old Red Thistle Single Malt Scotch Whisky

$1,317.99

Established in Campbeltown Scotland in 1828 and still run by generations of just one family, the Mitchells, Springbank Whisky is the only remaining distillery in Scotland to still malt 100% of its barley using traditional floor-malting methods. It’s also the only Scottish distillery to produce 3 distinct malts on-site. And while many of its competitors cut corners during the 1920s due to high consumer demand, Springbank continued to establish its reputation as a superior malt whisky manufacturer. By 1934, many distilleries in the Campbeltown area were forced to close, leaving only Springbank and another well-known brand (Glen Scotia), further enshrining this prolific brand as a true iconic distillery. Ensuring human involvement in each step of the production process, Springbank instills an element of historical legacy in every iteration in its silo, consistently offering up the highest quality of products to fans around the world. Despite facing numerous challenges in the 20th century – including 2 World Wars and the profound economic downturn of the 1980s – this stalwart brand has stood fast in its aim to offer top-shelf whisky and has grown to become one of the world’s leaders in premium Scottish whisky.

Description

Bottled in 1995 and offering an older style label and bottling, Springbank 12 year old Red Thistle single malt Scotch whiskey was crafted by combining 12 year old whiskey with excess older stocked casks to dilute various batches to their finished cask strength of 46% ABV. Red Thistle is thought to be bottled using almost exclusively bourbon casks and a small portion of sherry casks and offers a nose of dewy autumn fruits, floral hues, and spice over warm honey. On the palate are complex swathes of barley sugar and spice paired with white chocolate, floral herbs, and a touch of sherry.
