Westie Sponge Three is a 1st fill sherry butt of 1999 Springbank. Fully matured in Campbeltown for 24 years and bottled at natural cask strength. An amazing bottle of old sherry butts from Springbank. Special selected for Westie Sponge celebrates the whiskies of the Western Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
This is a particularly powerful and rugged example of Springbank.
Very coastal and salty, with a leathery, nutty and almost tarry sherry profile, and then layers of familiar waxiness, mineral oils and soft, background peat smoke underneath. The whole thing is drenched in distillery character and is beautifully evocative of the west highlands.
