Springbank 21 Year Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Springbank 21 Year Old is one of the most celebrated and collector-worthy expressions in the entire Scottish whisky landscape, produced by one of the last truly independent family-owned distilleries in Scotland and released in extremely limited annual quantities. Distilled and bottled by J&A Mitchell & Co. Ltd at Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, where every stage of production from floor malting to hand bottling takes place on site without compromise to commercial scale, the 21 Year Old represents over two decades of patient maturation in the distinctive maritime environment of the Kintyre peninsula. The result is a single malt of extraordinary depth, complexity, and balance, presented in Springbank's iconic black and gold label with a matching presentation box that reflects the prestige of this expression. Springbank 21 releases sell out quickly on every bottling, and each annual edition reflects the particular character of the casks selected that year. Whether you are a longstanding Springbank devotee or discovering the distillery for the first time, the 21 Year Old is the expression that most completely encapsulates what makes Campbeltown whisky irreplaceable.

ABV / Proof

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep amber with warm golden copper tones, reflecting 21 years of Campbeltown cask maturation

Nose: Richly complex and quintessentially Springbank, with coastal brine, ripe tropical fruit, dark toffee, dried apricot, vanilla, toasted oak, and a subtle waxy quality that builds with time in the glass. The 21 years of maturation add a depth and integration that separates this from younger expressions in a way that is immediately apparent.

Palate: Full and beautifully layered, with dark caramel, tropical fruits, sea salt, toasted oak, cinnamon, dried cherries, and a rich coastal complexity that is the hallmark of long-aged Campbeltown single malt. The 46% ABV at non-chill filtered strength delivers exceptional texture and depth without aggression.

Finish: Very long and satisfying, with beeswax, dried fruit, coastal salinity, vanilla oak, and a lingering mineral warmth that is pure Springbank, pure Campbeltown, and impossible to find anywhere else in the whisky world.
