The third release in Springbank's Sherrywood series was bottled in late 2024 at 55% ABV. This expression was matured for the first five years in ex-bourbon casks, followed by five years in Amontillado sherry casks. It was a limited release, with 9,900 bottles produced.

Tasting Profile: Aroma: Earthy, musky, with aromas of hazelnut, maraschino cherry, and blood orange. Some reviewers also detect notes of pipe tobacco, leather, and dark chocolate.

Palate: Complex and full-bodied, with cured meat, broom and tobacco flavors balanced with sweet coconut and molasses. The sherry influence adds layers of caramel and dark chocolate, while maintaining Springbank's signature earthy and smoky character.

Finish: Dry with wood shavings and tarragon flavors. Some reviewers also note a lingering smoky and salty finish.

Many praise its complexity and balance, noting that the sherry influence complements the typical Springbank character.
Additionally, many reviewers have noted this whiskey's rich, syrupy texture and bold flavor profile.

Overall, Springbank 10 Year Old Amontillado is a unique and intense expression that blends the influence of Amontillado sherry casks with the character of Springbank's coastal town of Campbeltown. Its limited production and unique maturation process make it an interesting choice for whisky enthusiasts and collectors.
