Campbeltown, during the mid-1800s, was the epicentre of Scotland's distilling industry, with 28 distilleries at one stage in the 1830s. Today, however, this number has dwindled to just three: Springbank, which also produces the peated Longrow and the unpeated Hazelburn; Glen Scotia; and recent addition Glengyle, home of Kilkerran malt.

One of a series of staggeringly good 1966 Springbanks bottled at the beginning of the 1990s from sherry casks that have become so famous in whisky circles as to take on an almost mythic status. The label artwork for this 'West Highland Malt' was to become iconic as well, becoming known as the 'Local Barley' series. An iconic whisky.
One of a handful of pre-Local-Barley cask strength Springbanks of quite stunning intensity. Bottled at the turn of the 1990s, we believe that these heavily-sherried Springbanks rival Black Bowmore for sheer quality and flavour concentration - yet they are far rarer, being bottled from single casks. Amongst the greatest expressions ever bottled by this legendary distillery.
This rare Longrow from the 1980's does not come up very often. We believe only a small batch was done which was sold only through the Cadenheads shop in Edinburgh.
A real treasure. The malt in this bottle was distilled in 1919 and bottled in 1969, which shows how far ahead of their time the Mitchell family company were.
One of the rarest single malts ever released, This famous Springbank was once in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's most expensive whisky. Just 24 bottles of this liquid treasure from the 1919 vintage were bottled at the distillery in 1970. A magnificent museum piece of whisky history.
