Description

The Springbank 1999 16 Year Old Local Barley is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky, part of the distillery's 'Local Barley' series, which emphasizes the use of barley sourced from farms near Campbeltown. This expression was distilled in September 1999 and matured for 16 years before being bottled in January 2016 at 54.3% ABV. It was crafted from Prisma barley grown at Low Machrimore Farm on the Kintyre Peninsula. The whisky was matured in a combination of 80% ex-bourbon and 20% ex-sherry casks. This limited release had an outturn of 9,000 bottles and is non-chill filtered. The entire production process, from malting to bottling, takes place on-site at the Springbank distillery, reinforcing its identity as a 100% Campbeltown Single Malt.

Sweet and briny, with notes of butter shortbread, vanilla, pear drops, and raisin. Cereal grains, roasted seaweed, lemon and orange peels, and a hint of fresh manure. Also, light, delicate, and mineral notes with wet beach pebbles, sewing machine oil, apples, pears, and apricots.

Sweet and rounded with a subtle peat influence, butter tablet, soft fruit, and mineral notes. Oily and structured, offering cereal richness, citrus (limes, lemons), malted barley, and a hint of cayenne pepper. Also, notes of dingy peat, peated grapefruit candy, and a Talisker-pepperiness.
