Springbank 1996 Single Fino Cask #264 / Milano Whisky Festival 2009
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 taken to 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.
A single cask Springbank, this was bottled exclusively for the Milan Whisky Festival. Distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2009, this whisky was drawn from Fino sherry butt #264. One of 600 bottles.
