Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength 57.2% 700mL — Dense, Coastal, Uncompromising
🥃 This is Springbank with the brakes off. The 2024 release of Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength is dense, oily and unapologetically full-flavoured — a Campbeltown malt built for drinkers who want power, texture and that unmistakable Springbank mix of coastal weight, smoke and old-school character.
Made at Springbank in Campbeltown, this annual cask strength release has become one of the distillery’s most chased bottles for good reason. It keeps everything people love about the house style intact — oily malt, maritime edge, gentle smoke and layered fruit — but turns the volume up with extra depth, warmth and grip.
The palate is rich and muscular, with dark fruit, salted caramel, spice and earthy malt all pushed forward by the higher strength. It feels thick, warming and deeply satisfying, but never loses that slightly rugged Springbank structure that keeps it grounded.
At 57.2% ABV, it drinks with real force and real flavour — bold enough for experienced whisky drinkers, and absolutely worth slowing down for.
