Phenol level approximately 10-15 ppm.

Matured 18 years in a combination of 50% ex-bourbon, 45% ex-sherry, and 5% ex-rum casks. Non-chill filtered. No added color. 46% ABV (92 proof). The cask composition changes annually; the 2024 release was 100% bourbon, making the 2026 sherry and rum inclusion a significant distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 18 Year is the oldest expression in Springbank's standard core range, sitting above the 10 and 15 and below the limited 21, 25, and 30 year bottlings. The cask composition shifts slightly by release year; rum cask inclusion is a more recent addition that adds a subtle tropical note alongside the sherry richness. At 18 years the distillery's characteristic waxy, oily texture is fully developed, and the funkiness present in younger expressions is integrated rather than prominent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSpringbank Distillery in Campbeltown has been owned by the Mitchell family continuously since 1828. It is one of the few Scottish distilleries to perform every step of production on site: floor malting, distilling, maturing, and bottling. Campbeltown, once home to over 30 distilleries in the 19th century, now has three operating distilleries, all connected to Springbank: Springbank itself (producing Springbank, Longrow, and Hazelburn), Glen Scotia, and Glengyle (producing Kilkerran). The Springbank 18 is among the most consistently sought-after age-stated single malts in Scotland among serious collectors and drinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific Edge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51227531182386,"sku":null,"price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/3206\/7378\/files\/6_dfa8d73a-99dc-4bec-9d34-7703b7552f3d.webp?v=1780005889","url":"https:\/\/slakesf.com\/products\/springbank-aged-18-years-single-malt-scotch-whisky-campbeltown","provider":"SLAKE San Francisco Bottle \u0026 Sundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
