Суммаризация отзывов
Виски описывают как насыщенный, маслянистый и сладкий, с ореховыми, цитрусовыми, медовыми и дымно-торфяными нотами и долгим тёплым финишем. При этом встречаются противоречивые и сдержанные мнения, а также повторяющиеся жалобы на завышенную цену и сложность покупки.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве отзывов виски представлен как сложный, насыщенный и маслянистый, со сладостью и нотами орехов, цитрусов, мёда, косточковых фруктов, ванили, солода, сена, минералов и морской соли. Часто упоминаются дым, торф, кожа и специи, а также характерные «грязные» ноты — резина, мастерская, пыльный склад; отдельно хвалят местный ячмень Bere, вяжущую текстуру и очень длинный дымно-минеральный финиш. В части отзывов профиль называют нетипичным для Springbank — более торфяным, «промышленным» или «обугленным», с доминированием бурбонных бочек и нотками серы/грязи. Нос может раскрываться сладкими фруктами, мёдом и карамелью, со временем становясь более минеральным и слегка дымным; вкус описывают как маслянистый и интенсивный, с ванилью, сиропом, сухофруктами, орехами и тёмным шоколадом, а финиш — средним-длинным, переходящим в землистые ноты, кофе, кожу и сырой табак.
Наряду с восторженными оценками есть редкие отрицательные и противоречивые мнения: кому-то дыма слишком много, кому-то профиль показался слишком «морским» и камфорным, другому — менее убедительным, с привкусом подгнивших фруктов и горьким послевкусием, ещё один отмечает избыточную горечь в финале. Также встречаются сдержанные отзывы: виски называют «немного скучным» по сравнению с 8-летним, «резким и угловатым», удивляюще тонким во вкусе и с коротким финишем, хотя и не плохим; отмечается неравномерность развития, а без воды он более суровый и «олдскульный», тогда как вода делает его маслянистее и слаще. Почти во всех восторженных отзывах отдельно упоминается завышенная цена и спекулятивные перепродажи, из-за чего некоторые снижают оценку, хотя сам виски называют качественным и достойным.

86+ 4cl sample. Very well-made and respectable whisky, but takes a score cut due to its price (-1 point).
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 86 | Clean, austere, the bourbon casks seem to totally dominate the maturation, despite only making up 60% of the cask blend. Very fermented malt with sour, almost spoiled, overripe fruits, hardcore florals, then more wood-forward after some breathing time. Mineral and metalic honeyes, a very distant cold smoke note. Still perfectly balancing industrial and farmy notes. After a bit more, fresher fruit notes start to emerge, together with darker fruity aromas from the sherry casks (getting warmer and cozier). Gets greasier with water, a bit more rotten-fruity, while the wood brightens up and the sherry maturation becomes more noticeable. Extremely clean and to the point, maybe a bit too much for my taste. |
| Вкус | 86 | Warm, oily, can easily be consumed neat without any harshness. Once again, too polite to really leave a lasting impression. Perhaps even more austere here, with organic malt, honey and florals, while the wood loses some of its strength. Even less smoky here, if that is actually possible (same for the allegedly 40% of sherry casks, besides an expressive leatheriness). Even more palatable with water, more well-paced and oily, even more organic and fruity. Very simple, once again a bit too much IMO. |
| Финиш | 87 | Springbank keeps amazing me by means of its very intense finishes in young, low peated whiskies. Initially quite fruity (peaches), it then goes down a very punchy wood road, but without any excessive bitterness or astringency. Long, very thrilling since there is close to zero peat at work here (only some olive brine in the background). Dusty, toasted, but also bright and warm. Gets even better with water here. Good release, should be 120 euros max, though. |

Blind sample May 2026, selected and poured by my wife into a coloured glencairn. Aroma is burnt moss, charred card, slight funk to it – an oiled but rusty leather-handled tool of some sort, burnt toffee, slight pineapple, coffee mate powder. Not smoky but very ‘charred’ or ashy. Going to guess a peated Ben Nevis based on aroma alone. Body is oily. Taste is intense, very peaty – okay, so now I feel like we’re in Islay whereas just from the aroma we were firmly in the western Highlands. Salty burnt seaweed up-front, soft medicinal sweetness moving into clove. Still not really smoky as such – it’s a resinous, salty sort of peat with medicinal notes. Not loads going on – salt and clove are dominant. The medicinal vibes make me think it’s likely to be one of my old Laphroaig samples, perhaps around the 46% to 48% mark. Very tasty. The taste doesn’t match the complexity of the aroma but it’s a solid dram. 3.6/86 REVEAL Springbank 10 Year Old Local Barley 55.2%. Wow – 55.2%? Didn’t strike me as being that strong at all. Not a typical Springbank character – it strikes me as heavily peated and the aroma is more ‘mechanical / industrial’ than the ‘cheesy’ kind of funkiness I associate with Springbank.

If this is the standard quality of the Local Barley series, I understand why everyone wants it. There's a catch, of course... the exorbitant prices in the Netherlands and on the secondhand market are simply absurd. At the distillery itself, these bottles cost £90, which is on the high side for a 10-year-old whisky. But keep in mind, this 10-year-old whisky is 55.2% ABV and is produced from local barley. I would definitely buy a bottle if it stayed under €125.

Another opportunity, another bottle, which is now warm and sealed, so let's open it! The aroma is interesting, but too much smoke for me. But I didn't understand the taste, so much dry smoke, here, it's too much, and the smoke is not from malt, but from a burnt barrel, a crocodile-like roast?!, hmm, why is it here?((( Ok, overall, everything is not bad, but it's not HOLIDAY, it tasted better cold to me, nothing bothered me, but here, the question is... 22 21 21 22 86

The initial scent was a bit less impressive, but after 20 minutes it was much better. Otherwise, it’s delightful—genuinely something you can sit with for hours!
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 85 | Initially, the first scent I pick up is that of old walnuts, the kind you really ought to throw away immediately. Fortunately, this quickly improves, revealing notes of peat smoke, dark chocolate, and plenty of sea salt. These are complemented by aromas of dry earth, oak, vanilla, and lemon juice. |
| Вкус | 89 | The taste is quite sweet, reminiscent of caramel and vanilla pudding. There are also spices, such as nutmeg and cinnamon, alongside dark chocolate and a generous amount of dried fruit. In the background, there is a delightful undertone of soft peat smoke. |
| Финиш | 88 | Medium-length, gently smoky, and deliciously sweet. It features flavors of grilled meat, grilled pineapple, dark chocolate, and a delightful dose of honey. Thanks go out to Herbert for the sample! |

It comes across as very full-bodied and rich. The smoke is also somewhat more herbal than one usually expects from Springbank. Overall, a rather robust and hearty malt that still offers a good amount of sweetness. This one's really something. I haven't had that experience with many local barleys before. I usually thought they were good, but not really better than, say, a 12 CS. Which is why I've never understood the hype. This bottling is definitely something special. However, I still wouldn't pay double the price or more for a 12CS, which is also quite expensive these days.

Even more difficult to obtain than the 12-year-old CS is a bottling of Springbank Local Barley, produced from barley grown around Campbeltown on the Kintyre Peninsula. The 2025 batch, distilled in 2015, used a special barley: Bere Barley. This old, challenging, and low-yielding variety had almost disappeared before being rediscovered and first cultivated in Orkney. Very little whisky is made from Bere Barley. Bruichladdich releases a regular bottling. After some attempts to grow this barley on Islay, they are once again using Orkney Bere Barley. Arran has had two bottlings. And now Springbank also offers a bottling made with Bere Barley from Clochkiel Farm on the Kintyre Peninsula, matured in 60% bourbon and 40% sherry casks. glen-efze.de

The ultimate highlight of our Springbank tasting. Highly complex with fruity, sweet, and grainy notes and a subtly elegant peat smoke. The fact that it's produced entirely at the Springbank distillery using locally sourced bere barley is unique, and the result is superb. The prices being asked are exorbitant, and not exactly polite. Even at auctions, bottles are currently fetching over €250. I'm not interested in paying that much.

Thanks for the sample Slàinte Mhath. The profile is quite unusual, but individual and exciting.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 89 | The aromas are dense, full-bodied, and harmonious – yet also unique, because they seem so clean, slightly yeasty, and fermented. I only detect the sherry aromas in the background, and then more in the direction of Fino sherry. Linen, olive oil and dried olives, oyster cream. I can still detect floral aromas of daisies, sunflowers, and sunflower oil. Then there's iron and smoke from a workshop with many workbenches and metalworking. |
| Вкус | 88 | 88.5 The flavor is full-bodied, with a broad, very pleasant, and not cloying sweetness, lychees, passion fruit, and in the background a bitterness of grapefruit and gooseberries. Interwoven throughout is that cold, yet vibrant smokiness reminiscent of a workshop by the sea. The final flavors that linger on the palate are a bit too bitter, hence only 88 points. |
| Финиш | 88 | 88.5 The mouthfeel is pleasant, tart, and intensely aromatic. It's slightly astringent and drier than the flavors on the palate. |

Overwhelmingly strong and briny abalone viscera and camphor notes dominate the palate. Its character is utterly singular—if this profile resonates with you, nothing else will suffice. It's not quite my cup of tea at all.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 86 | There is a moderate alcohol presence, with a fairly high overall volume. Straightforward quince leads the profile, accompanied by lemon and a gentle hint of apricot. A dirty, ashy smokiness comes through clearly, intertwined with briny cockle notes and a rich yet slightly funky blue-cheese character. Vanilla is not dominant but provides a solid backbone. Metallic and sulphurous notes are extremely faint—noticeable only if actively sought, and far from intrusive. |
| Вкус | 83 | A powerful, intensely briny maritime character floods the mouth, like chewing on abalone innards without draining the seawater. Alongside it comes an overwhelming camphor note reminiscent of Tiger Balm, strong enough to leave one momentarily disoriented. As the palate progresses, these dominant impressions subside slightly but persist, joined by a smoky note reminiscent of burning plastic, cooked orange, and prickly white pepper spice. When rolled around the mouth, camphor and smoke continue, followed by matchstick sulphur, a touch of roasted barley, brown-sugar sweetness, and a lingering iodine note. |
| Финиш | 84 | Retro-nasally, smoke and camphor dominate, followed by quince, brown sugar, cooked orange, and iodine, with a rising hint of iron-like metallic brine. On the palate, camphor and smoke—reminiscent of burnt plastic and chimney soot—take center stage, alongside abalone viscera, cooked orange, sulphur, iodine, and a lingering touch of white pepper. |

Clochkiel Farm Springbank's Local Barley releases can safely be called iconic, which also explains why they sell out in the blink of an eye. In many cases, even before they reach store shelves, but that is another discussion. This bottling, from 2025, is a vatting of 60% bourbon and 40% sherry casks. Eight thousand bottles were bottled at cask strength. The barley this time is Bere Barley from Clochkiel Farm on the Kintyre Peninsula. The nose starts off surprisingly peaty, to be honest. Alongside soft notes of citrus, peach, and nectarine, I also get hints of oyster juice and jute sacks on an earthen floor. It is very, very tasty on the nose. Immediately complex. Beautifully oily. Immediately also pleasantly spicy on white pepper and liquorice, ginger and a good dose of fleur de sel. Somewhat farmy and deliciously fruity on peach and orange jam. Mid-palate it becomes quite waxy and mouth-filling, a fresh note of lime juice appears, and the smoke suddenly becomes bigger than the nose suggested. Grand is the word I am looking for. Delicious malt. The finish is long, smoky, and gently drying on chalk, vanilla, and dried peach. Phenomenal. You can actually buy this blind... if you get the chance. Thanks, Manny!

Wax, hay, and melted butter spread on young, freshly stripped wood; smoke mingling with vanilla and citrus; iodine playing among the reeds; then salt or icing sugar? A bit of both, certainly; a zest of mandarin, raw grains and a few lychees, grapes, diced mango, clods of earth, almonds. Rising bread dough, grapefruit. On the palate, it's smooth, rather citrusy, but fruity, with juicy white and yellow fruits, pears, kumquat, bananas, grapes, and a peppery touch, a pinch of peat and grain, mushrooms. A rather intense finish, very slightly acidic, lemon tart, blond tobacco, dried herbs, mustard, slightly bitter wood. It seemed to me that this one was particularly good, undoubtedly thanks to the variety of barley; the woodiness is rustic and intense, the citrus notes are really pulpy, and the cereal notes are very rich. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2026/05/springbank-2015-local-barley-10-yo.html

More extensive review online on 3 December 2025 on my website: www.longpouramour.com My conclusion: "After a rather modest and maybe even underperforming 8 years old, this new Springbank 10 years old Local Barley 2025 performs on the usual high level we have come to expect from this popular series. It breaks my heart to see so many retailers rip off their customers with inflated prices, but against this quality, at least you won’t be disappointed with the quality of the whisky in your glass. This is a classic Campbeltown malt right here."

It has a "local barley" flavor now. Much better than last year's batch.

(Short notes during the Springbank online tasting on January 29, 2026) (60% Bourbon, 40% Sherry) Wow, the nose is magnificent, classic Springbank, very mineral, grainy, with hints of oats, bourbon cask aromas clearly predominate, honey, vanilla, fresh hay. A powerhouse on the palate as well, exactly the same aromatic profile, and the same in the finish. Very focused, amazing. 90/90/89 = 90/100

S 8 One of the best Local Barley I've had in recent years. Excellant balance with complexity only achievable with vatting of different cask types. Sad there's not enough allocation for Canada for me to get my hands on a full bottle.

| Нос | 89 | Old warehouse, dusty, dirty, burnt rubber, oily rags, vanilla, cotton candy, a slightly maritime note emerges, salty, also mineral. Nice smoke in the background. Also metallic; here you can tell the bottle's youth and strength, I think. |
| Вкус | 90 | The mouth carries the aromas very well, revealing more smoke, a warehouse atmosphere, dust, and a strong graininess, along with a pleasant wood note. There's a touch of salt and maritime character, leather, and it's very powerful; the youthful character is noticeable here too, but not unpleasantly so. |
| Финиш | 91 | The finish is powerful and voluminous, smoky, ham, salty, maritime, slight bitterness from the wood, shoe polish, dusty warehouse, slight sweetness, Campbell's funk at its best! |

An interesting dram where there are lots of earthy notes - it's good that Springbank seems to try and make whisky to be enjoyed - this is well worth a try, even though it's as rare as rocking horse manure.

| Нос | 85 | The nose starts with throat pastilles, quite earthy and then notes of a chest rub Possibly a touch of fennel or even Pontefract cake. |
| Вкус | 86 | There is a nice mouthfeel to this - it coats the mouth. In terms of taste there is a unami note, almost salty at one point like a soy sauce - the alcohol is well balanced, although there is a slight bitterness - coffee grounds? |
| Финиш | 86 | Medium with plenty of earthy notes lingering - the saltiness makes it feel a little drying. |

Green malt, aniseed. Straw, a whiff of smoke and sea spray.

Of the LB I've had, this is one that I found less convincing. It tastes a bit like rotten fruit, with a bitter aftertaste.

| Нос | 88 | Nose: Sweet orchard fruit, peaches, baked apples with brown sugar, caramelized pears, a somewhat perfumed aroma, musty hay, herbs, sweet citrus, honey, fruit liqueur. Over time, it becomes more mineral, crisp, and slightly smoky and peaty. A deeper inhale reveals leather, but spices also begin to tickle the nose. 88.00 |
| Вкус | 88 | Palate: It's only after the initial sharpness fades that things really get going. Then it gets really nice. Oily, thick, intense. Vanilla, honey, syrup, sweet fruit, hay, stale water, herbs, dried fruit, nuts, dark chocolate, burnt caramel. 88.50 |
| Финиш | 89 | Finish: Medium-long, pleasantly lingering, consistent with the flavor. Over time, it becomes more earthy, revealing coffee, leather, and damp, musty tobacco. 89.00 |

immediately far peatier, acidic and less cakey/buttery than the Springbank 12 CS (2025). The base is of bitter ash, sooty cold stone minerality, drying oak, grist and fish oils which is elevated a little by apple cider vinegar and a touch a tart passion fruit juice. Water adds medicinal elements such as plasters and the grist becomes dry pasta. The palette is really oily and peaty, green, ashy and acidic clay. It’s very old school in style and reminds me of the first peated Dornoch (cask #149). Water makes it far more buttery and sweet. The finish is drying, ashy and sooty but made sweeter with water. The development of the dram is irregular, very old school and austere without water but becomes more inviting, familiar and less challenging for better or worse. It’s more interesting than the 12 CS but less approachable or drinkable neat.

A little boring maybe, compared to the 8yo, which I prefer. Retry later.

Interesting. A very harsh and angular Springbank. Quite smoky and maritime with a bitter herbal note. Surprisingly thin on the palate and with a short finish. Not bad (I've never had a bad Springbank), but even as a fan, not really my cup of tea.
