Springbank 1999 Springbank Society 11 Year Old Local Barley / Recharred Sherry Butt

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.

This is one of a select number of releases produced using malted barley harvested from neighbouring farms in the Campbeltown area. They were first introduced in the late 1990s, and were eventually re-named as the Local Barley series in the 2000s.

Specially produced for the Springbank Society, this was matured for 11 years in a re-charred sherry butt.

Distilled in 1999 using Prisma barley from Machrimore farm and bottled in 2011, this is one of 516 bottles.
