Product details
Springbank 16 Year 1991 Rum Wood is a distinctive, limited-era release from the historic Campbeltown producer, celebrated for its hands-on, traditional approach and unmistakable house character. This expression spent its early years resting in previously used American oak before being transferred to fresh oak barrels associated with sugarcane-based maturation, allowing a second phase of aging to add depth and contrast. The result is a pale, gold-toned profile with a subtle greenish hue, showcasing Springbank’s signature balance between coastal influence, natural sweetness, and layered complexity. Carefully matured over sixteen years, this release stands out for its dynamic structure and beautifully integrated character.
The aromatic profile opens with exotic fruit notes of papaya, coconut, and kiwi, complemented by gentle sweetness reminiscent of vanilla, honey, pancake syrup, and soft marshmallow. As it develops, appetizing coastal brine and hints of anise add lift and intrigue. The palate carries these elements forward with harmony and energy, leading into a lingering finish where savory brine remains alongside rich molasses and toffee-like tones. Well-rounded and expressive, it delivers both freshness and depth in a memorable, evolving experience.
