Springbank Sherry Hogshead Distilled 1998 Bottled 2015 - Malts of Scotland
Springbank 1998 Malts of Scotland – A Rare Sherry Cask Treasure
Experience the timeless character of Springbank 1998, a remarkable single malt bottled by Malts of Scotland (MoS) after 16 years of maturation. Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2015, this whisky spent its entire life in a Sherry Hogshead (Cask No. 15038), resulting in deep, rich flavours and a luxurious mouthfeel.
Only 239 bottles (bottle 67) were ever released, making this an exceptionally rare find for collectors and Springbank enthusiasts alike. Bottled at a natural strength of 49.2% ABV, it captures the true essence of Campbeltown craftsmanship — unchill-filtered, pure, and authentic.
Expect a complex and layered profile:
- Nose: Dried fruits, raisins, dark chocolate, and a hint of sea breeze.
- Palate: Full-bodied and rich, with notes of sherry, leather, oak spice, and salted caramel.
- Finish: Long and elegant, with a gentle smokiness and lingering sweetness.
This Springbank 1998 Malts of Scotland bottling is more than just whisky — it’s a snapshot of Springbank’s artisanal distilling tradition, captured in liquid form. A true collector’s gem and a celebration of what makes Campbeltown whisky so distinctive.
