DESCRIPTION
The Local Barley is an annual release from the Springbank distillery produced from barley grown in or around Campbeltown. Each year a local farmer is commissioned to grow barley on the distillery's behalf to continue producing this 'grain to glass' limited edition. This 2024 edition is crafted from Belgravia barley from the Glencraigs Farm. Distilled in June 2010, matured for 13 years in a combination of 60% ex-bourbon and 40% ex-sherry casks and bottled in December 2023. 8,400 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 54.1%.
OFFICIAL TASTING NOTES
Nose: On the nose, this whisky is packed full of fruitiness, ripened bananas, boiled sweets and cinnamon.
Palate: Initially, the thick, chewy and oily texture of this whisky is evident. From there, we get a peppery and malty note, then strawberries, brandy schnapps and parma violets.
Finish: Into the finish there’s subtle peat smoke hiding in the background, wine gum sweetness, toasted oats, dunnage earthiness and a slight drying taste.
