Springbank 1998 Vintage 2025 is the first in Springbank Distillery's new Vintage Series, a rare release limited to 1,500 bottles worldwide. Aged for over 26 years in 100% sherry casks, it is bottled at 48.3% natural cask strength (unchill filtered, uncolored). This new series replaces the traditional 25-year-old range.

Main features: A vintage whiskey that stands out for its deep fruitiness and complex aroma derived from sherry casks.

Bottled in 2025, limited to 1,500 bottles worldwide.

The official tasting notes reveal rich aromas of Medjool dates, blackberries, white chocolate, and caramel, followed by warm flavors of earthiness, shortbread, brandy butter, and cloves, and a spicy finish of old wood, nutmeg, and candied ginger.

Tasting notes: Aroma: Layers of tart raspberry, freshly baked raisin bread and yeast, milk cocoa, blackberry, etc.

Taste: Coconut milk and bitterness of well-roasted coffee, rough lemongrass, moist brandy cake, Oloroso sherry, minerality of sea breeze, dry ginger and black spices.

Aftertaste: Earth, peat, spicy notes of nutmeg and ginger, and a woody, milky bitterness linger for a long time.

Evaluation and Impression: A rich and deep bottle that is typical of Springbank, with the richness and complexity that comes from aging in sherry casks.

Although it is an expensive limited edition bottle, it is highly valued as a special experience and collectible. With its bitter, earthy and sea breeze notes, it is a type that tastes differ depending on the drinker, but it symbolizes the dawn of a new era for the classic Springbank.
