Springbank 40 Y.O. 1950 Release 1990 Wooden Box

The distillery Springbank, owned and operated by the Mitchell family in Campbeltown since 1837, is one of Scotland's most highly regarded distilleries. After a brief shutdown between 1979 and 1987, a decision was made when it reopened to cease all sales to the blending industry and concentrate on single malt sales. Today it is one of only two distilleries in Scotland to malt, distill, bottle and mature whiskey in the same location.

The distillery's focus on bottling single malts means that its warehouses hold some fantastic vintages that have escaped the hands of blenders over the years and become increasingly rare. This very rare piece, only 120 in number, was distilled in 1950 and bottled in December 1990.
