Springbank 12 Year Old Claret Wood 1997

Springbank is one of just two Scottish distilleries undertaking every stage of the whisky-making process on-site, from malting the barley to bottling the final spirit. Although a few others preserve the initial step of malting barley, a practice growing rarer, Springbank distinguishes itself by managing the entire process and bottling their own whisky. This particular expression has undergone a unique maturation process, spending nine years in a refill bourbon barrel before a three-year finish in fresh claret casks, culminating in bottling at cask strength.
