Springbank 12 Year Old Batch 28 2025 Release description:
The Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 28 is the second major release of the 12-year-old expression for 2025 (typically following a Batch 27 earlier in the year). This specific bottling has gained significant attention because it marks a return to a 100% Bourbon cask maturation, a departure from the sherry-heavy blends of recent years.
Collector & Drinker Notes
The “Bourbon Return”: Many enthusiasts prefer the 100% Bourbon maturation (similar to Batch 23) because it allows the citrus and brine of the Springbank spirit to shine without being masked by heavy European oak spice.

Tasting Profile
Because Batch 28 skips the sherry casks entirely, the “distillery character”—that famous industrial, maritime “Springbank Funk“—is much more prominent.
| Phase | Sensory Notes |
| Nose | Bright and sweet: fruit salad candy, raspberry ripple, and dried mango. Underneath lies the classic dunnage warehouse earthiness and a hint of dark chocolate. |
| Palate | Thick and oily: creamy vanilla and toffee clash with savory notes of smoked cayenne pepper, crushed chillies, and charred steak. |
| Finish | Long and drying: salted pretzels and pink grapefruit, ending with a lingering, gentle peat smoke and cocoa powder. |
