Springbank 1996 WSP

Springbank Distillery, founded in 1828 in Campbeltown, Scotland, stands as one of Scotland's oldest and most revered independent whisky producers. As one of only three remaining distilleries in Campbeltown—the once-prolific "Whisky Capital of the World"—Springbank is unique in performing every step of production on-site: traditional floor malting, distillation, maturation, and bottling. The distillery remains family-owned by the Mitchell family, operating continuously except for brief periods during the 1970s-80s. Springbank produces three distinct malt styles: the namesake Springbank (lightly peated, 2.5 times distilled), Longrow (heavily peated, double distilled), and Hazelburn (unpeated, triple distilled). Known for its artisanal approach, direct-fired stills, and exceptional quality, Springbank has achieved cult status among whisky connoisseurs worldwide, with limited releases commanding significant attention and premium prices.
