54.1% | 70cl | Campbeltown | Cask Strength | NCF | 100% Bourbon | Limited Edition
As the name suggest the local barley grown in or around Campbeltown was used in the production of this bottling. The barley was malted on Springbank’s own malting floors using age old techniques. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon (60%) and ex-sherry casks (40%). Only 8,400 were made available worldwide.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: On the nose, this whisky is packed full of fruitiness, ripened bananas, boiled sweets and cinnamon.
Palate: Initially, the thick, chewy and oily texture of this whisky is evident. From there, we get a peppery and malty note, then strawberries, brandy schnapps and parma violets.
Finish: Into the finish there’s subtle peat smoke hiding in the background, wine gum sweetness, toasted oats, dunnage earthiness and a slight drying taste.

The Local Barley Series is one of Springbank’s most highly anticipated and this year’s edition is no exception. Initially planned to be a series of just five bottles, due to its popularity it is now part of the Springbank range as an annual limited release.
Each year, they use different barley varieties, grown by different local farmers and up until now either matured fully in bourbon or mainly bourbon with some sherry influence.
