Springbank 10 Year Amontillado Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL
Springbank 10 Year Amontillado Cask is a Campbeltown single malt from Scotland's oldest family-owned distillery — the Mitchell family's Springbank in Campbeltown, the only Scottish distillery to handle every production step on site from floor malting through bottling — aged for 10 years in Amontillado sherry casks, presenting dried fruit, roasted nuts, and hints of coastal brine in a perfectly balanced expression that captures the essence of Campbeltown and the art of traditional sherry cask aging.
Amontillado is one of Jerez's most complex sherry styles — beginning as a Fino but developing into an oxidative, nutty, amber style as the protective flor yeast ages out. The Amontillado cask contribution adds almond, hazelnut, and dried fruit complexity to the characteristic Campbeltown maritime and lightly peated Springbank base.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Amontillado Cask differ from the Fino Cask and PX Cask expressions?
Each uses a different sherry style for distinctly different cask character: Fino is the lightest and driest (toasted almond, sea salt, delicate dried fruit); Amontillado is oxidative, nutty, and amber (hazelnut, dried fruit, more complexity); PX is the sweetest and most concentrated (dark fruit, raisin, molasses).
