Springbank 1989 12 Years Old Rum Wood 70cl, 54.6%

Description

Springbank 1989 12 Years Old Rum Wood 70cl, 54.6% is a highly collectible Campbeltown single malt from Springbank Distillery, bottled as part of the sought-after Wood Expressions series. Distilled in 1989 and bottled in April 2002, this 12 year old release was finished in rum wood and bottled at a powerful 54.6% ABV.

The rum cask influence gives this Springbank a more tropical and exotic edge than many classic sherry or bourbon matured releases. Expect a combination of Campbeltown oiliness, light peat, sea salt, malt, tropical fruit, brown sugar, spice and dry oak. It remains unmistakably Springbank, but the Rum Wood character adds a distinctive sweetness and warmth.

What makes this bottle especially attractive is its limited outturn. Only 5,700 bottles were released, making it a serious collector’s piece for Springbank fans who value older vintages, early 2000s bottlings and unusual cask experiments.
