Springbank distillery is one of the few remaining family owned distilleries.
Nearly all of its Campbeltown whisky is sold as a single malt. The distillery produces three distinct types of single malt Scotch whisky;
Blended from a mixture of bourbon and sherry casks, the light colour of this malt belies the richness of its character.
The nose has a wide range of aromas, from citrus fruits to pears and a hint of peat, while the palate shows touches of smoke, vanilla essence, nutmeg, cinnamon and the salty tang characteristic of the distillery.
The 10 year old from the Springbank distillery in Campbeltown, a mixture of both bourbon and sherry matured whisky.
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 seldom seen large bottle (2 litres!) of 5 year old whisky from Springbank. A beautiful presentation, considering it's quite ungainly size, and a treat for the Springbank lover.
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.
Another legendary bottling in the always-impressive Prestonfield, this 20 year old Springbank 1967 received 93-94 points from Malt Maniac Serge Valentin on Whiskyfun and despite being from a multi-cask batch is now extremely difficult to find, having been bottled in the late 1980s.
