Springbank 10 Year Palo Cortado Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky represents the epitome of Scottish distillery craftsmanship, distinguishing itself as a unique offering from Springbank, a distillery renowned for its commitment to traditional methods. Springbank’s distinctive approach involves handling every part of the whisky-making process on-site, from malting to bottling, ensuring unparalleled quality and authenticity.
This exceptional single malt whisky is free from artificial coloring and is not chill-filtered. This approach respects the natural character of the whisky, which may exhibit a slight haze at cold temperatures, a mark of its purity and natural state, which disappears as it warms.
The maturation process of this Springbank whisky is particularly noteworthy. Initially aged for six years in refill bourbon barrels, the whisky is then transferred to fresh Palo Cortado hogsheads made from American oak for an additional four years. This dual cask maturation imbues the whisky with a complex and layered flavor profile.
