Springbank 5 Year Old Scotch Whisky 114 Proof
57% ABV (114 proof) | 700mL | 5-year cask-strength single malt | Campbeltown, Scotland — Springbank 5 Year Old 114 Proof is Campbeltown Scotch whisky turned all the way up: a 5-year-old single malt matured in ex-bourbon and refill casks, bottled at cask strength with no chill filtration and no added color. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Springbank — J. & A. Mitchell & Co., one of Scotland's last fully traditional distilleries — floor-malts its own barley and distills two-and-a-half times. At five years and 114 proof, this is the distillery's house character in high definition: maritime salt and peat smoke, malt and vanilla from the bourbon casks, citrus and green apple brightness. Add water slowly and watch it unfold — cask strength is a feature, not a bug.
Tasting notes
Maritime salt, light peat smoke, malt and vanilla, citrus and green-apple brightness; long oily finish at full strength.

Frequently asked questions
Is 5 years too young for Scotch?
Not at cask strength — Springbank's distillate is robust enough that five years in active bourbon casks delivers full flavor, and the high proof carries it.
How big is the bottle?
700mL — Scottish standard sizing, not 750mL.
What does "2½ times distilled" mean?
Springbank's signature: a partial third distillation that gives its whisky a distinctive weight between double- and triple-distilled styles.
