Springbank 10 Years Old Sherry Wood – Pedro Ximénez

A bold and characterful expression, the Springbank 10 Years Old Sherry Wood Pedro Ximénez showcases the distillery’s signature complexity through the lens of full-term maturation in first-fill PX sherry casks. Distilled in Campbeltown and aged for a decade, this limited release offers a deeply textured and richly spiced profile, revealing the symbiotic power of Springbank’s traditional methods and the unctuous sweetness of Pedro Ximénez wood.

As one of the few distilleries in Scotland that maintains full in-house production—from malting to bottling—Springbank has earned a cult following for its authenticity, integrity, and refusal to compromise. This expression is a testament to that legacy, layered with coastal nuance and sherry-driven intensity.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Concentrated and inviting. Notes of dark raisins, treacle tart, and burnt toffee mingle with hints of espresso, sea spray, and leathery oak. A whisper of sulphur and struck match adds intrigue.

Palate: Dense and chewy. Molasses, Medjool dates, and blackcurrant jam intertwine with soot, bitter cocoa, and smoked almonds. The PX sweetness wraps itself around the distillate’s briny, earthy core.

Finish: Long and brooding. Waves of liquorice, salted caramel, and roasted hazelnuts fade into notes of dunnage warehouse, spent embers, and dark spice.

Springbank 10 Years Old Sherry Wood Pedro Ximénez is not merely a sherried malt—it is a spirited conversation between cask and coastal terroir. A richly rewarding dram for those who appreciate intensity anchored by authenticity.
