Springbank 10 Years Old Palo Cortado Cask Strength

Springbank 10 Year Old Palo Cortado Cask Matured

A unique addition to Springbank’s distinguished portfolio, the 10 Year Old Palo Cortado Cask Matured represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Bottled at a robust 55% ABV, this limited edition is drawn from a series of only 10,200 bottles, making it a rare find for connoisseurs. Initially aged for six years in refill bourbon barrels, it was finished for four years in Palo Cortado sherry hogsheads, imparting a complex, deeply nuanced flavor profile.
