Springbank single fresh rum cask number #242, 25 years old 1997-2022, bottled to launch Nickolls & Perks independent bottling range. A 1997 distillation, this rare expression was matured entirely in a single fresh rum barrel, cask number 242, where it lay for a full 25 years in the warehouses of Campbeltown to harness the full essence of its provenance. This rare bottling marked the start of an exciting new chapter for N&P, presenting fine casks of spirits specially selected by their team of specialists. Springbank is one of the few surviving distilleries from the golden age of Campbeltown, the region that was once the capital of Scotch whisky production. It is arguably the most traditional distillery in all of Scotland, continuing to operate in the labour-intensive ways of old to produce a truly authentic Scotch. Presented at natural cask strength, natural colour and without chill-filtration. One of only 105 individually numbered bottles.
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.
