Springbank 10 Year Old PX Sherry is a remarkable single malt whisky crafted by the esteemed Springbank distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. This distinctive expression has been meticulously matured for a decade, showcasing the intricate balance of flavors that arise from its unique cask selection. The whisky is aged in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile that delights the senses.
Distilled in July 2012, this expression begins its journey in refill bourbon barrels, where it matures for seven years, allowing it to develop a solid foundation of classic Springbank character. It is then transferred to fresh Pedro Ximénez hogsheads made from Spanish oak for an additional three years of maturation. This final stage enriches the whisky with the deep, luscious sweetness characteristic of PX sherry, culminating in a beautifully layered profile. Bottled in October 2022 at a robust 55% ABV, only 10,800 bottles of this limited release were produced, making it a coveted addition to any whisky enthusiast’s collection.
On the nose, Springbank 10 Year Old PX Sherry entices with aromas of dark fruits, rich toffee, and hints of chocolate, intertwined with the distillery’s signature maritime notes. The palate reveals an indulgent tapestry of flavors, featuring layers of ripe figs, dates, and a touch of spice, all balanced by a gentle smokiness that adds depth. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of sweet sherry and oak that invite you to savor each sip. This expression not only showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Springbank but also celebrates the influence of Pedro Ximénez sherry, making it an unforgettable whisky experience for those seeking something truly special.
