Springbank 1972 Single Cask 12 Year Old #289

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 the only distillery to malt, distil, bottle and mature whisky on the same site, and produces three distinct and highly prized single malts.

This particular bottling contains a single cask Springbank which was distilled on 16th August 1972, and bottled as a 12 year old at cask strength before being imported to Italy by Sutti Imports.

One of likely only a few hundred bottles drawn from single cask #289 in 1984/1985.
