Frequently referred to as the ‘whisky-capital’ of Scotland,
Campbeltown is Scotland’s smallest whisky-producing region, and is located on the southern tip of the Kintyre Peninsula, in Argyll. Once home to over 30 distilleries, however due to US Prohibition, now only two remain. They are well known for their dry, briny nature, and distinctive nose.
The Mitchell family has called Campbeltown home since the 1660s, and this 1978 Springbank is filled with the uisge beatha that’s kept the firm in business since 1828.
This 19-year-old Springbank was distilled in June 1972 and bottled in January 1992. A sought-after bottling with the popular white label.

A very rare 1970s decanter of Springbank 25 year old.
A bottle of Glens Extra 8 Year old West Highland Malt Scotch whisky. Distilled, matured and bottled at Springbank, this was originally intended for the Italian market and, we estimate, dates from the 1960s.
A rare special bottling of 1965 vintage Springbank. Distilled in the year Everest, a British double-glazing and home improvement company, was founded, this was bottled in 1993 in commemoration of The Everest Challenge cycle ride.
An incredibly rare bottle of 19 year old Longrow whisky. There were only 218 of these bottled, which makes this quite the collectible.
