Springbank 2007 9 Year Old Fresh Sauternes Hogshead | Springbank

A Society-Exclusive Campbeltown Release

Distilled at Springbank in November 2007 and bottled in May 2017 exclusively for Springbank Society members, this 9 year old release was selected by General Manager Findlay Ross and matured in fresh Sauternes hogsheads. 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.

About the Distillery

Springbank 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.

About the Bottling

Selected 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.

Archive Notes

Please review all product images carefully. Minor cosmetic wear to labels, capsules, cartons, or presentation cases may be present due to age, long-term storage, or secondary-market sourcing.

Natural variation in fill level, packaging condition, and label ageing can occur in older releases and forms part of the character of mature collectible whisky.
