Springbank Local Barley 8 Years

A tribute to traditional whisky-making, crafted entirely from barley grown near the distillery. This farm-to-bottle approach celebrates authenticity, local agriculture, and hands-on craftsmanship.

Matured in a carefully selected mix of bourbon and sherry casks, this limited edition single malt showcases youthful vibrancy and surprising depth. From nose to finish, it offers a full-bodied experience rooted in local character.

The nose is rich and inviting. Expect fresh barley, sweet cereal, lemon peel, and a soft layer of coastal salt. Hints of honey, hay, and gentle oak drift in, wrapped in a touch of mineral earthiness.

The palate is thick and oily, a signature of Springbank’s traditional methods. Creamy malt, soft spice, and vanilla notes are quickly followed by citrus zest, toasted nuts, and a dash of cracked pepper. The barley influence is unmistakable—fresh, sweet, and full of life.

There’s also a mild smokiness that binds it all together, never overpowering but always present. It enhances the balance between fruit, spice, and grain. The finish is long and warming, with lingering malt sweetness, light oak, and a salty breeze that whispers of Campbeltown’s coast.

Springbank Local Barley 8 Years is a rare expression that honours its origins. The use of local grain, traditional production, and natural depth make this a standout release. A real treat for those who appreciate honest, handcrafted Scotch.
