- Description
- This 1980s Japanese-market bottling of Springbank 8-year-old captures the distillery's distinctive house style—the result of partial triple-distillation and on-site malting—in a younger format rarely seen outside its home market. The short maturation in Scottish oak emphasizes the distillery's oily, briny character with emerging wood integration. A collectible rarity for those exploring Campbeltown's singular approach to whisky production.
