Springbank 1989 13 Year Old Port Wood 70cl, 54.2%

Description

Springbank 1989 13 Year Old Port Wood 70cl, 54.2% is a collectible Campbeltown single malt from Springbank Distillery, released as part of the sought-after Wood Expressions series. Distilled in 1989 and bottled in February 2003, this official bottling was matured in port pipes and released with a limited outturn of 3,120 bottles.

This release is especially interesting because 1989 is an important year in Springbank history, marking the return to full-scale production after the distillery’s quieter period. The port wood influence gives the whisky a richer fruit-led style, bringing red berries, jam, spice and dark sweetness into Springbank’s naturally oily, coastal and lightly smoky profile.

At 54.2%, it offers strong natural intensity while still carrying the old-style Springbank character collectors look for. With its vintage statement, Wood Expressions identity, port pipe maturation and original presentation packaging, this is a serious bottle for anyone building a rare Campbeltown whisky collection.
