The very first release of Pyynikin Expressions series is a deep dive into the heart of Campbeltown and Springbank distillery.
As we got some Springbank’s peated Longrow whisky casks, we wanted to explore flavors that are tied to this beautiful spirit. With some sweetness and roast on our malts, we hope to enhance the heart of this fine Scottish whisky.

BB 6.12.2026. Opaque colour, small brownish head. Roasted aroma, a bit milky (because of age?). Medium to full-bodied. Roasted, coffee, whiskey, hints of soya sauce. Nice roasted aftertaste. Aged a bit but in a good way. Good stuff.

330mL can, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma is full of peated whiskey barrels, moderate roast, and earthiness. Flavour is much the same, with very gentle roast, some peated whiskey barrels, a touch of iodine, and a rather rough/chewy palate. A bit clumsy on the palate but has some pleasant peated whiskey on the finish. A bit amateur but pleasant.

355mL can. Pours black with a tan head. Gentle roast, dark chocolate, some iron, and smoky whiskey barrels on the nose. Flavour has dark sugars, gentle roast, anise, some iron, and a nice smoky whiskey barrel character. Palate is quite thick and chewy. Very European. Not bad, nice barrel character, but the body is a bit clumsy.

33cl can from Sip, Tallinn. Pours close to pitch black with a modest, dissipating, tanned head. Roasty aroma with mild peaty and smoky notes, wood, whisky and hints of licorice, dark chocolate and dried dark fruits. Medium sweet with rather high flavour intensity and a mild, bitterness. Smooth, desserty and warming.

Canned (from Alko Web). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, some toffee and mild spicy tones, chocolaty and syrupy. Still quite mild aromas. Flavour is mild smoked wooden tones with some liquorice, alcohol, sweetness and some toffee. Quite thin palate.
