Springbank Craft 10 Years

The Springbank 10 year embodies the unique character of the distillery. It all starts with the selection of the best barley, harvested from the fertile Scottish fields. This barley is then carefully malted, releasing the essential sugars that will later be converted into alcohol during the fermentation process. What really sets Springbank apart is the use of its own peat to dry the malt, which adds a subtle hint of smoke to the final distillate.

After malting, the barley is milled and mixed with pure water from the nearby Crosshill Loch before being transferred to Springbank's traditional copper stills. The distillation process, which takes place in the small distillery with its artisan stills, is a true art form that requires skill and experience. The double distillation creates a rich and complex distillate that forms the basis for the Springbank 10 year.
