Springbank 1991 16 Year Old Rum Wood

Springbank 1991 16 Year Old Rum Wood is a vintage Campbeltown single malt from Scotland’s oldest family-owned distillery — matured for eight of its sixteen years in a refill bourbon cask before being transferred into fresh rum barrels for the second half of its maturation, presenting the characteristically waxy and maritime Springbank 1991 character with the tropical rum cask influence from the second eight-year maturation period.

Springbank’s periodic rum cask expressions demonstrate the distillery’s willingness to explore unusual cask types while maintaining the characteristic Campbeltown maritime and waxy Springbank identity. The equal 8-year split between refill bourbon and fresh rum barrels means the rum character is deeply integrated rather than a superficial finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 50/50 rum maturation differ from a rum cask finish?

A rum cask finish typically involves a short period (months to a couple of years) in rum casks at the end. The 8-year second maturation in fresh rum barrels is a full secondary maturation period of equal length to the first — producing deeply integrated rum character rather than a surface-level flavour addition.
