Springbank 1966 Local Barley

Bourbon Wood
Lot #0250355
FINISH DATE
31 December 2015
A nice rare Springbank from the 'Local Barley' series, the materials used in the manufacture of the whisky in this bottled have almost all come from within a radius of 8 miles of the distillery.  Distilled in February 1966 in a Pot Still from pure barley and matured in oak Bourbon casks for 30 years before being bottled in October 1996.
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.
