Process & Profile

The Springbank 1998 Vintage marks the launch of a new Vintage Series, replacing the brand’s traditional 25-year release. Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2025, this expression showcases nearly 27 years of maturation in a combination of two refill and two first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a deep, sherried single malt that reflects the nuanced, maritime character and classic Campbeltown depth that Springbank is known for. Only 1,500 bottles were released globally.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Ripe dates, stewed stone fruit, coastal salinity, damp oak, and malted barley

• Palate: Cinder toffee, balsamic glaze, cherry syrup, ginger loaf, and creamy vanilla

• Finish: Lingering with nutmeg, leather-bound books, salted caramel, and earthy spice

What Makes It Special

• Nearly 27 years old, distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2025

• Aged in both refill and first-fill Oloroso sherry casks for richness and complexity

• First release in the new Springbank Vintage Series

• Limited edition of only 1,500 bottles worldwide

• Uniquely Campbeltown—non-chill filtered and traditionally crafted

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped glass. Allow it to open over time for full complexity, or add a few drops of water to highlight its sherried and savory nuances. Pairs beautifully with roasted nuts, dark chocolate, or a quiet moment of reflection.
