Суммаризация отзывов
Виски описывают как солёно-цитрусовый и тропически-сладкий Springbank с ванилью, солодом, лёгким дымом и «фермерским» характером, часто с ромовыми нотами. Мнения расходятся: часть хвалит нос и раскрытие со временем, часть жалуется на серные/металлические ноты, короткий финиш, юный возраст и завышенную цену.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве отзывов профиль описывают как солёный, цитрусовый и морской, с ванилью, тропическими фруктами, солодом и лёгким дымом, а также с «грязным»/фермерским характером Springbank и заметным влиянием ромовой бочки. В части отзывов добавляются мёд, минеральные и маслянистые ноты, жёлтые фрукты (груши, сливы, абрикосы), солёная карамель и тональный хлеб; некоторые отмечают, что виски раскрывается со временем в бутылке, после длительной аэрации или с добавлением воды. При этом есть противоречия: одни считают его типичным Springbank и лучше прошлых Local Barley, другие — что он больше похож на Oban и «слишком мало Springbank», а заявленное влияние шерри и рома почти не ощущается.
Критические и редкие мнения тоже присутствуют: упоминаются аммиачно-серные и металлические ноты, закрытый нос, недостаток сложности, слишком юный возраст, короткий, вялый или несбалансированный финиш, а также ухудшение впечатления при повторной дегустации и мнение, что виски слабее 12-летнего cask strength. Главная повторяющаяся претензия — цена и хайп вокруг серии: напиток уровня 70–100 евро, переплата за Local Barley не оправдана, хотя органолептически он оценивается высоко; один отзыв прямо говорит, что это не любимый local barley и к концу бутылки виски почти не изменился, а другой предпочитает более сбалансированный Genting.

My sample of the current Local Barley has been waiting for a while to be opened and tried, and since the 11yo Local Barley was part of the line-up at yesterday's Springbank Society Tasting at Cadenhead's Cologne, a re-evaluation is a good idea, especially for me last night that the Local Barley did not occupy a prominent position in relation to the other Springbank products on display. As it turns out, this impression is confirmed, even detached from other taste impressions. Yesterday: 86/87/86, today: 86/86/86. This tingling in the nose and on the tongue makes the whisky quite "spicy", in my opinion a little more creaminess would do it very well.

I agree with LeChiffre. It doesn't even come close to living up to the hype. It does nothing wrong and has quite nice moments. Candied pineapple, vanilla sugar, nice maritime (salty sea air), a bit dirty (Springbank Funk). And it stays in the mouth for a long time, especially the saltiness

A really tasty whisky, just a little too little Springbank. Without prior knowledge, I would have puzzled back and forth and probably would not have ended up at the Local Barley in the end. In contrast to the 2021 I would say: better dram but even less springbank. Same points. Full review in a flight of six Campbeltown drams: https://keinehalbendrinks.de/2023/05/10/campbeltowning-3/

Good news: Typically Springbank and in my opinion significantly more interesting than the last LB of the previous year. A good result in the first litter from the sample bottle. But we all know: Springbank usually develops very positively with the bottle with oxidation. In this respect, a review will take place in a few months.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 89 | Yes, instantly identifiable as Springbank. Mineral, musty, maritime, dirty and slightly smoky it flows on the Snifter. In addition, a lot of light fruits, I would have blindly guessed a higher proportion of bourbon casks than sherry casks. Garden fruits, tropical fruits, citrus and fruit tea try to find a counterpoint to chalk, shell limestone and distant fire. Works well in balance. Alcohol integrated extremely well |
| Вкус | 87 | The attack is strong, then citrus flickers briefly before clear wood tones, presumably those of European oak, take over. Tart and nutty notes certainly come from the sherry casks. The typical saltiness from the distillate spreads. This Local Barley seems more subtly smoky to me than usual. With water it becomes significantly sweeter and more accessible on the palate. |
| Финиш | 86 | As usual, a lot of citrus on the finish, chalk, now the dirty smoke is a little more present, salt. At the beginning also with some subtle bitter substances reminiscent of grapefruit. |

5cl sample, short review N: very floral and fruity, i detect no peat whatsoever, reminiscent of a cask strength Hazelburn but with more depth, pineapples, green apples, big malty nose, a bit of that Springbank dirtiness, filth and stable smells (90) P: initially a bit hot and coserved, with some added water it opens up nicely, very sweet, zesty, orchard fruits with pineapple and some salt, lemon and a metallic note, 0 smoke (86) F: long, lingering, sweet with malt and orchard fruits (86) 90 / 86 / 86 = 87,333 --> 87 pts / 100

I'm glad I once again opened an LB and that it was this one. It reminds me a bit of 15yr rum from a few years back. It's still a favorite of mine, so it's no surprise that this one is also high on my list.

A fundamentally well-made, high-quality malt that I also enjoy. But it is still an 11-year-old malt - even Springbank can't do any more magic than that. I don't understand how you can spend €150+ on it.

Fruit compote with vanilla, honey and floral notes, iodine. Light notes of Campbeltown peat in the background. The taste is pleasant-wine-sour, sweet-tart with spices. Sweet notes, I think, not only from bourbon, but also from rum barrels. The finish is quite short, somewhat smeared. 22.5-22-21-21.5.

5 cl sample. Copita glass. Canned peaches and pineapples, green apples, summer potpourri, cake icing, some sourdough. Dunnage scents also. Really dynamic and deep. Really good Local Barley release. Obviously, this needs to be tasted within a time of a full bottle being opened.

Without water he is too good for me. He makes better use of his jumping bank genes with water. But the price is absurd.

| Нос | 87 | At first quite closed, grains, buttery pastries, subtle sweet and nutty notes that remind you a little of sherry. Later comes some tobacco, some water, dried fruit and some funk |
| Вкус | 88 | Much fuller and more intense than the nose suggests. Pastries and herbs. Very balanced between sweet, sour, salty and bitter. With water exotic fruits, mango. Dried apricots lead into the finish. |

I finish the bottle. I can say for sure that this is a wonderful whisky. It definitely needs to breathe in the bottle, it definitely suits it. The first nose is a little closed and sour, but then everything is wonderful. It's malt + minerals + perfumed flowers + acacia honey. I would say that the Springbank style is quite recognizable. The longer it breathes in the glass, the more you feel the washed sherry in the nose. The taste is rich malt + tannic, enveloping and sweet. Very pleasant and drinkable. The finish is sour oaky and delicately tannic. At first it seems that it is average. But if you drink it in a full sip, then this is a wonderful malt-oak chewing spirit. I don't know what the aging in rum barrels gave here. But I think it's more about the taste. Although the type of malt was indicated for a reason. Nose - 22 Taste - 23 Finish - 22 Balance - 22 Rating - 89

Very creamy, on buttered bread, peanut butter, knob of butter, frangipane. Then it's the farm, the hay, the stable, the lime. Rain on dry, just-plowed earth. Vanilla, mirabelle plum. Maple syrup. Roasted corn. Adding water makes it more sociable, and I don't know if that's a good thing. Cut straw. A few medicinal touches, on turpentine. Chopped flowers. The smoke of a campfire, in the distance. Pumpkin, butternut. Smells of frightened cattle. On the palate, it's very sweet at first, and the lemon comes out, then quite strong but suitable spices, cumin, nutmeg, thyme. We can taste the sweetness of the rum, rose water, Turkish delight. Finally, the straw returns with the beaten butter and almonds. Slightly bitter woody. Long, fiery, earthy finish, a hint of charcoal, cane syrup, pastry cream. Chantilly cream. Egg yolk. Acacia honey. What can be said about this bottle that hasn't already been said? It's not only very good, it's very original, and it's shaking up the world of whisky. The notion of terroir and local production are revolutionary in an increasingly globalized industry. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2023/07/springbank-11-yo-local-barley-2022.html

[May 2025] I scored the 11-year old Springbank Local Barley sold in 2017 at 86 points only... ...and this one is a little better, but still miles away from the first Local Barley editions. Given more than hundred other tasting notes already, it is not needed to do a detailed review here - but I suggest to reduce this dram to about 48% abv. It opens up nicely this way.

First tasted this in Campbeltown, just a few weeks before it came out. It was a nice fruity dram upon first impression, seemed to be lacking some complexity, but it was hardly a good environment to get a thorough impression. Tasting this a few weeks later, I must say I am more impressed with the end product. It has all the tasty highlights of the regular 10, but these rum casks make for a fruity sensation. Bottling this output at cask strength adds a lot more layers top, as compared to the regular 10, which is the powerhouse against which all Springbank should be measured. This LB is truly recommendable!

Its time for Local Barley 11yo 2022 release. First local barley with some rum component (10% rum, 55% sherry, 35% bourbon). The quality sits here without questions. For me, Local Barley series is quintessence of Springbank DNA, the nose literally takes you back to the distilery. Comparing to 2021 release I would say (from the memory) this one has more minerality notes and its a bit sweeter. After adding a few drops of water, i found some old dusty book but at the same time its getting more sweeter. Lovely dram.

75 points, why? Yes why not? Still a solid 3 on school grades. But nothing more. Let's face it, this whisky is only so expensive as supply cannot meet demand. But please, over 300€?! Guys, the RRP in Germany was €129, hardly any dealer offered it at this price. A pity. A Local Barely is something different. He doesn't really appeal to me. I'd rather stay with the OA's 10y or 15y. However, taste is subjective and everyone should decide for themselves whether to spend €300 on an average 11y whisky. Definitely not me, therefore only 75 points.

The current Local Barley from 2022 is 11 years old and comes from 55% ex-Sherry casks. It's a fairly standard gold color, but looks more like ex-bourbon. Actually, Springbank makes normal, unexcited whiskys, the opposite of the pimped monsters. That's why the nerds like it - and what the nerds like, the investors recognize as a good investment that the nerds can no longer afford. Capitalism is a plague! glen-efze.de

There’s an appealing tropical candied sweetness layered over the saline earthy Springbank distillate, however it doesn’t quite all fuse together - perhaps too young or perhaps overly aggressive casks. The nose is nicely complex and the palate has good density, but on the finish it becomes unbalanced and the wood spices come to the fore. Good individual components that don’t quite add up, but an interesting and distinct dram nonetheless.

No, I'm sorry, I can't understand the recurring hype about this bottling series. It's quite tasty in itself and doesn't do anything wrong, but seriously: this is a malt in the price range of around 70-100 euros and would already be well paid for! If you can get it for well over 100 euros RRP (I'm not even talking about the sometimes ridiculous retail prices), it's simply overpriced and a joke. I can only recommend to broaden your view of Campbeltown a bit, because you can get stuff that is just as good there much cheaper away from Springbank.

Color a light yellow. Oily streaks on the glass. It comes initially with a delicate smoky note, but which is partly lost again. I hear a grassy, slightly spicy note, the grain is there too little wood. In the mouth he gains weight. Not only in terms of strength, but also aromatically. The spice increases, but not dominant, looks natural you can literally smell and taste the farm. There should be 55% sherry in it, I don't notice anything. I don't even notice the smoke anymore. A very nice malt, definitely. But at the asking price?

Almost 88 points do not quite do the whisky justice. Serge even scored 91 points here. I wouldn't go quite that far, having had a dram or two from this bottle three times in the last three days, but with water it comes close to 91 points. A solid 90 points in all three areas. But you shouldn't expect the 55% sherry content here - if it hadn't been on the label, I wouldn't have noticed that there was supposed to be a sherry influence here. The rum content is also barely noticeable, but it makes the whisky smoother. I find the rum more noticeable than the sherry. Glen-Effze has once again made a mark with its note and hits the nail on the head. For me, this is a 90 point whisky, especially when combined with water. The malt used gives the whisky a special note - in terms of craftsmanship, there is rarely anything to complain about with Springbank anyway. This is a bottle that is even comparatively cheap, thanks to the 15,000 bottles from this batch. Maybe I'll buy another one so I can let the whisky oxidize in the closed bottle for a few years. It could be that such a young whisky will be as legendary in 30 years as the local barleys from the 60s/70s. For a batch of 15,000 bottles, probably at least 50 barrels, the whisky is surprisingly individual and complex. Springbank simply does a good job. I have rarely enjoyed such a good whisky from a batch of 15,000 bottles, such an intense and well-crafted product.

EYE/NOSE Visually, light gold tones at first. Strong, fresh and a little grassy on the nose. Citrus zest, as if orange and lemon peel had been rubbed, mixed and lightly sugared. A fine hint of honeydew melon, a little block malt, ground barley and subtle spices. If you give it more time in the glass, salty, maritime 'harbour aromas' come to the fore, reminiscent of the basic character of the Old Pulteneys or some older Bunnahabhains. PALATE On the palate, the new Local Barley impresses with its creaminess at the beginning, as it coats the entire mouth with velvety texture. A strong start. In terms of taste, the typical earthy, 'funkiness' of the (more than) two-and-a-half-times distilled malt mixes with oily, fruity notes that bring a distinct sweetness and spontaneously make me think a little of caramelized mango strips and rum cream. On the palate, I notice less of the saltiness that surprised me on the nose. Overall, the malt seems more settled and therefore more mature than the fresh aromas on the nose would have suggested. The slightly grassy basic tone is also retained in the taste. FINISH/CONCLUSION Wonderfully long, intense aftertaste, where the slightly salty notes are now more clearly apparent. A very successful, balanced malt that manages to do the balancing act of retaining its youthful freshness on the one hand and appearing well-matured and balanced on the other, without foregoing the rough edges that are typical of Springbank. A pleasure that is more distillate-driven than cask-driven, which is, as we know, the exception rather than the rule these days. Everything without fault? Basically yes. Basically yes. If you want to name a weakness, the LB lacks a little complexity, which for my taste also distances it a little from the podium places within the current series of nine malts - including the 2014 Society bottling - with 87/88 points. This leaves the multi-layered 16yo (2016) as leader of the pack, the brilliant 10yo Oloroso (2020) and the intense 9yo (2018) at the top of my little book.

Typical Springbank profile, enriched by fresh rum notes. Best local barley edition of recent years.

Hyperbole definition "exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally." Hype definition "promotion, especially promotion consisting of exaggerated claims." Springbank do not promote their whisky using exaggerated claims; so their whisky does not have any hype to live up to. Admittedly with an RRP of £100 for 11yo cask strength this is becoming a little expensive. The answer is quite simple - do not pay over RRP for this and/or buy the 10yo which is starting to stick to the shelves a bit more (and yes at over £50 is also looking a little expensive; but not hyped!)

Generally ok. The smoke is slightly heavier. I still prefer Genting with a balanced flavor. The biggest impression is the smoke and toasted bread and the sweet and sour taste of ripe fruits. When drinking it, the first thing that appears is the moderate smoke, followed by the sourness of apricots and ripe plums. Sweet and slightly bitter at the end, alcohol burns, sour and sweet, and ends with smoke.

I was afraid for the rum and instead Springbank was sublime, as usual

A beautiful bottling. The comparison may be a bit lame, but I recently had the 2024 12yo Cask Strength (Batch 25) in my glass, which impressed me even more.

| Нос | 85 | Vanilla, boiled milk, herbs, a hint of sourness, and a bit of nail polish remover. The nose is quite alcoholic, and the notes don't really stand out; you need to push through the alcohol. There's freshly cut grass, pears (schnaps), white chocolate, oregano, and a slight metallic scent. It has a certain dirtiness that I'm not a fan of. It feels younger on the nose than it actually is. |
| Вкус | 87 | Vanilla, creamy mouthfeel, oregano, grassy, milk, and a taste of slightly charred wood. At first, it's better than the nose, and the quality and age are noticeable. It doesn't remind me of brandy like the nose did. The alcohol is quite pronounced, but that's expected at 55.1%, and it doesn't overpower. There's also white chocolate and a hint of pepper. |
| Финиш | 86 | Charred wood, vanilla, ginger, pepper, a mix of spices—long finish. |

N: Vanilla, oily, oak and notes of chocolate. Sweetness as a layer over every scent and alcohol coming hard at the end. T: Alcohol, spicy and some chocolate. The sweetness from the nose is gone and has been taken over by strong alcohol. Some oil can also be found on the palate. W+: Not much difference. W++: Alcohol is finally reduced and a sweet spiciness is taking over. This is not my favorite local barley. I gave it 86p when the bottle was opened. Now at the end of the bottle, not much has evolved. A lot of water is needed to overcome the prominent alcohol.
