One bottle per order, please. Origins & Craftsmanship Produced by Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland, one of Scotch whisky’s most historic and authentically traditional producers, this Fino cask expression represents a distinctive entry in the brand’s annual sherry series. Springbank remains unique among major distilleries for its in-house floor malting, 2.5x distillation, and hands-on maturation practices. For this 2025 release, distilled in 2015, the spirit was initially matured in refill ex-bourbon hogsheads before being transferred for an extended period to first-fill American oak Fino sherry casks. The result is a whisky that draws structural backbone from bourbon wood and nuanced dryness, almond-like elegance, and wine-inflected complexity from fino maturation. Bottled at 55% ABV, non-chill-filtered and in natural color, it reflects Springbank’s commitment to authenticity and craft. Critics Reviews There are no formal professional critic scores published from major spirits publications specifically for the Springbank 10 Year Fino Sherry Cask (2025 edition) as of now. However, the expression has attracted positive attention among specialist whisky reviewers and collectors for its compelling integration of Fino sherry characteristics with Springbank’s classic profile, and its limited release status heightens its desirability in connoisseur circles. Tasting Profile Nose:Bright and lively aromatics open with blood orange and citrus peel, layered with brandy snaps, vanilla custard, and preserved stone fruits — a dry, almost savory fruit intensity that hints at the Fino influence. Palate:Complex and inviting, offering cinnamon sugar warmth, accents of fresh mint and praline, and darker tones of Morello cherries and lemon curd. The Fino casks confer a nuanced dryness and a subtly nutty, savory thread beneath the sweeter fruit elements. Finish:Long, harmonious, and gently persistent, with notes of key lime brightness, cola-candy tang, and soft maple syrup that taper to a refined, lingering close.
