At Springbank — one of the last truly independent distilleries in Scotland — tradition isn’t a marketing slogan, it’s a way of life. The 5 Year Old Single Malt is a rare glimpse into the heart of Campbeltown’s whisky craft: young, energetic, and unapologetically honest. Made entirely on-site — from malting to bottling — it reflects the soul of a place where time and salt air shape every drop.

The whisky is double-distilled over open flame and matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks, allowing its raw coastal energy to settle into early harmony. What emerges is youthful but beautifully made — full of life, texture, and promise.

Aromas of lemon peel, sea spray, and malted biscuit rise from the glass, leading into notes of vanilla cream, smoke, and soft spice. The palate is lively and layered — sweet malt balanced by briny edge and subtle oak. The finish is clean, slightly smoky, and full of Campbeltown character. Proof that age is no substitute for authenticity.
