Distilled in 2004, this limited‑edition release sees its spirit mature first in refill bourbon barrels before being transferred to Gaja Barolo wine casks — the famed Italian red wine barrels — for the final years of ageing. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003eThe result is a whisky that offers both Springbank’s classic maritime complexity and the elegant influence of Barolo wine casks, with rich layers of flavour and a bold, expressive profile.
