SPRINGBANK 1993 20 YEAR OLD PRIVATE CASK #575
CAMPBELTOWN SINGLE MALT
Distilled: 1993
Bottled: 2013
Matured in cask #575
54.8% ABV / 70cl
There are very few distilleries left in Scotland that have the capacity to carry out 100% of the whisky making process onsite, but Springbank can make that claim. Situated in Campbeltown (the former whisky capital of the world) the distillery produces three distinct styles of single malt: lightly peated Springbank, heavily peated Longrow, and triple distilled, unpeated Hazelburn.
Despite being a relatively small distillery, Springbank has cultivated a global cult following, with older expressions such as their legendary Local Barley series commanding eye-watering sums at auction.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye.

The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
