The Springbank 11-Year-Old Local Barley is a distinguished single malt whisky, meticulously crafted and bottled by the iconic Springbank distillery in Campbeltown. This 2023 release, distilled in May 2011 and bottled in December 2022, is a testament to the distillery's commitment to traditional methods and high-quality production. Limited to just 15,000 bottles, this expression showcases the unique character of local Belgravia barley from Glencraigs Farm, situated only a few miles from the distillery. The barley is malted on Springbank's own malt floors, using time-honored techniques before the spirit is matured in a blend of 55% Sherry, 35% Bourbon, and 10% Rum casks. The result is a richly nuanced whisky bottled at a cask strength of 55.1% ABV, encapsulated in a 700ml presentation box. Springbank, an independently-owned distillery, holds a storied place in the Scotch whisky world, having been a flagbearer for Campbeltown whisky since the 1990s. The acquisition and resurrection of the Glengyle distillery further cemented Springbank's legacy, and the Local Barley 11-Year-Old stands as a shining example of their dedication to preserving traditional distillation methods.
