Well I think people are familiar with a sherrybomb but this is a bourbon bomb. Loads of really delicious vanillins and creamy notes without being woody at all. No doubt it’s first fill. The nose is quintessential Springbank and it’s lovely. Palate moves slightly more towards the wood influence but still plenty of distillate on display.
Springbank was established in 1828 by the Reid Brothers, who were in-laws of the Mitchell family. Springbank became the 14th licensed distillery in town and due to the increase of demand, Mary Mitchell established Drumore distillery in 1834.
Amidst financial difficulties the Reid Brothers sold the distillery in 1837, to John and William Mitchell, and the distillery has stayed in the family ever since.
The flavour of Springbank whisky thrived and developed. While many distilleries in the region turned to cost-cutting and shortcuts in production. Which eventually saw many of them close, Springbank survived for many years.
After shutting down temporarily in 1926, due to the effects of Prohibition, the distillery began operating once more in 1933, and at this time it was one of only two distilleries producing whisky in the region. The distillery began to thrive once more.
Unfortunately, the distillery shut down once more in 1979, due to the difficult economic state in the UK, and reopened almost a decade later, with only a limited production.
Demand for Springbank whisky began to grow once more, and the oldest family-run distillery in Scotland continued to thrive to this day.
