This bottling of a 12-year-old Springbank 100% Pure Malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced in the 1990s in a black ceramic decanter, it comes with an original cork stopper.
The Springbank Distillery is located on the Kintyre Peninsula, Scotland, was founded in 1828 and has been owned by the Mitchell family since 1837. Along with Glen Scotia and Glengyle, it is one of the three distilleries in the Campbeltown whisky region, which used to have more than 30 distilleries. The Mitchell family also produces the Longrow and Hazelburn malts there (since 1997), and also owns Wm. Cadenhead, one of the oldest and largest independent whisky bottlers in Scotland.
The Campbeltown region got its name from the most important place on Kintyre and included all the distilleries on the peninsula. In its heyday there were said to have been 20-30 distilleries, but since the 1920s the number has declined so that today only Glen Scotia and Springbank (with Longrow and Hazelburn, both names of defunct distilleries) remain.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
