Springbank 10 Year Fino Cask Matured is the fourth release in Springbank's celebrated five part Sherry Series, an annual exploration of how different sherry styles shape the distillery's signature Campbeltown spirit. Distilled in July 2015 at the legendary Springbank Distillery, the whisky was matured for four years in refill bourbon hogsheads before being transferred for a final six years in fresh American oak Fino sherry hogsheads, then bottled in October 2025 at natural cask strength of 55% ABV with no chill filtration and natural color. Where richer Oloroso or Pedro Ximenez casks deliver heavy dried fruit and sweetness, Fino sherry imparts a distinctly drier, nuttier, more delicate influence that highlights the underlying coastal Campbeltown character rather than masking it. With an outturn of just 11,400 bottles worldwide, this is one of the most sought after annual sherry series releases from a distillery already considered one of the most collectible names in single malt scotch.

Tasting Notes
Color: Bright golden amber with a soft mahogany glow from the Fino sherry maturation.
Nose: Blood orange, brandy snaps, vanilla custard, and tinned fruits, layered with sea spray, lemon zest, toasted almond, and the dry flor character of Fino sherry.
Palate: Vibrant and full bodied. Cinnamon sugar, fresh mint, praline, morello cherries, and lemon curd ride against a backbone of sweet malt, citrus oil, and gentle coastal smoke.
Finish: Long, clean, and coastal, with key lime, cola bottles, maple syrup, drying peat smoke, nutty sherry, and warming oak spice.
FAQ
What is the Springbank Sherry Series? The Sherry Series is a five part annual exploration of how different sherry styles influence Springbank's spirit. Released in order: Pedro Ximenez (No. 1), Oloroso, Amontillado, Fino (this release), and Manzanilla, with Manzanilla expected as the final release in 2026. Each entry uses a different sherry style cask to highlight contrasting flavor profiles.
How is Fino different from other sherry cask finishes? Fino is the driest and palest style of sherry, aged under flor (a layer of yeast). Casks that previously held Fino impart a delicate, nutty, saline character with bright citrus rather than the heavy dried fruit and sweetness of Oloroso or PX. This makes the Fino release the most spirit forward of the series, letting Springbank's coastal Campbeltown signature lead.
Why is Springbank so collectible? Springbank is one of the very few Scottish distilleries that performs every step of production on site, including floor malting their own barley, partial 2.5 times distillation, maturation, and bottling. The distillery's strict allocation policies and 11,400 bottle outturn for this release make it especially sought after.
