Bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.1% ABV with an outturn of just 1,128 bottles, it represents a distinctive and increasingly difficult-to-source official Springbank bottling from one of the distillery's most sought-after member-exclusive releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical fruits, honeyed citrus, ripe apricots, maritime salinity, vanilla cream, and gentle peat smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and oily with sweet wine influence, candied fruits, lemon curd, malted barley, coconut, and coastal complexity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering sweetness, soft peat smoke, oak spice, and maritime dryness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Campbeltown, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springbank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottler:\u003c\/strong\u003e Official Bottling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springbank Society Members Release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistilled:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottled:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57.1%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh Sauternes Hogsheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutturn:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,128 Bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle of Bottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Cask Strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes Original Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpringbank remains one of Scotland's most revered and collectible distilleries, renowned for carrying out every stage of production entirely on-site in Campbeltown. Producing whisky in relatively small quantities using traditional methods, Springbank has become one of the most sought-after names in Scotch whisky. Demand consistently exceeds supply, making special releases and society bottlings increasingly difficult to acquire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Bottling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSelected exclusively for members of the Springbank Society, this release reflects a period when the distillery offered highly limited bottlings directly to its most dedicated supporters. The use of fresh Sauternes hogsheads adds an additional layer of collector appeal, combining Springbank's distinctive maritime spirit with the rich sweetness and complexity associated with prestigious French dessert wine casks. Official society releases from this era have become increasingly scarce on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArchive Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product images carefully.
