Springbank 10 Year is the flagship core range expression from one of Scotland's most fervently loved and traditional distilleries, the Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, owned and operated by J. & A. Mitchell & Co. since 1828. Built from a typical batch ratio of 60% ex bourbon casks and 40% ex sherry casks, this single malt is the youngest age stated bottling in the Springbank core range and serves as the perfect introduction to the distillery's complex, lightly peated maritime style. Springbank is one of the only distilleries in Scotland that performs every step of production on site, from traditional floor malting to partial 2.5 times distillation through to bottling. Lightly peated to 12 to 15 ppm and bottled at 46% ABV with no chill filtration and no artificial coloring, the 10 Year is consistently ranked among the finest age stated single malts at any price and remains heavily allocated worldwide due to overwhelming global demand.

Tasting Notes
Color: Bright golden amber with a soft natural shimmer.
Nose: A gentle Kintyre coastal breeze with damp peat, fresh orchard fruit, orange zest, heather, and honey, balanced by malt and vanilla from the bourbon casks.
Palate: Oily and full bodied with pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon spice up front, giving way to honeycomb, tropical fruit, milk chocolate, and gentle wood smoke.
Finish: Long, sweet, and salty, with lingering coconut, dry peat, and a maritime mineral close.
FAQ
What makes Springbank different from other single malts? Springbank is one of very few Scottish distilleries that handles 100% of production on site, including traditional floor malting of its own barley. The 2.5 times distillation is unique to the Springbank brand and produces a richer, more textured spirit than standard double or triple distilled malts.
How peated is Springbank 10? Lightly peated, around 12 to 15 ppm. The peat is present but supportive rather than dominant, leaving room for the bourbon and sherry cask influence and the distillery's signature maritime character. For heavier peat, look toward Springbank's Longrow sister brand.
Why is Springbank 10 so hard to find? Springbank's strict commitment to traditional production methods limits annual output, and global demand has far outpaced supply for years. The distillery refuses to expand or compromise its hands on processes, which keeps allocation tight and pricing well above MSRP at most retailers.
