    Springbank 37 Years Old 1970

    Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Collection

    FINISH DATE
    30 November 2018

    This Single Malt whisky was distilled at Springbank distillery in Campbeltown on the 16th June 1970. It was filled into a fresh Olorosso Sherry Butt and matured in that single cask for 37 years. This is a very fine and increasingly rare example of Springbank of this age. The whisky was drawn from cask No. 1621 and bottled under the supervision of A. W. Symington, Managing Director of Signatory Vintage on the 28th of June 2007.

    Springbank

    Seen by some as Scotland’s, if not the world’s greatest distillery, Springbank is a unique proposition. Not much has changed at Springbank since its inception in 1828; it still follows a historical oddity of distilling, it remains owned by J&A Mitchell and it still uses floor malting for 100% of its requirements. And all of this from the fairly remote location of Campbeltown, which is the former distilling capital of Scotland. Three distinct styles are produced at the distillery with a triple distilled whisky (Hazelburn), a heavily peated (Longrow) and the classic Springbank. More than ever before, these are in huge demand from the UK and international distributors. Due to the historical nature of the distillery and the methods they follow, production cannot be increased too dramatically to accommodate rising demand. Sadly, it looks like we’ll all have to chase a little harder for anything Springbank-related for a while to come.
