Description

This 25-year-old single malt from Springbank was distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2022 by Nickolls & Perks as part of their Inaugural Casks series. Matured entirely in a single fresh rum barrel for 25 years in Campbeltown, it yielded only 105 bottles at a natural cask strength of 49.1% ABV. The whisky is presented with natural color and without chill-filtration, reflecting Springbank's traditional, labor-intensive production methods.
