This is a Rare Reserve bottling of Springbank, distilled in 1969 and bottled in 2003. Springbank distillery has been owned and operated by the Mitchell family in Campbeltown since 1837, and it one of Scotland's most revered distilleries. Following a brief mothballing between 1979 and 1987, upon the reopening the decision was takento cease all sales to the blending industry and focus on its single malt sales. Today it is one of the only distilleries to malt, distil, bottle and mature whisky on the same site, and produces three distinct and highly prized single malts. Tasting Notes,.

Notes of passion fruit, grapefruit, and pineapple are the stars of the show, supported by a whipped cream-like sweetness. Hints of spice, with subtle wood notes.
