- Description
- A vanishingly rare 1970s-bottled Campbeltown single malt at 25 years old, from Springbank's golden era of production. Springbank's characteristically oily and slightly funky distillery character would have mellowed over two and a half decades in wood, developing waxy texture, maritime notes, and subtle sherry influence. A collector's piece representing the distillery's heritage before modern production standards.
