Springbank Distillery
Springbank distillery is known for being one of the only remaining distilleries in what was once the Whisky Capital of the world, Campbeltown. The team at Springbank take pride in malting, fermenting, distilling, maturing, and bottling on site. The distillery even has its own cooperage. The result is a number of fantastically consistent single malts that have put Springbank on the map.
The Syndicate
In July 1992, as the Summer Olympics took place in Barcelona and Georgia joined the United Nations, a group of friends in the United Kingdom came together to form a whisky syndicate and prepared to purchase a number of casks. Their decision was to purchase twenty sister hogsheads, from cask number #135 to #154, directly from the Springbank distillery at a cost of £400 per cask. The casks had been distilled just five days before the syndicate’s purchase and contained almost 5,000 litres of Springbank distillate.
The syndicate left the casks to mature at the Springbank distillery’s bonded warehouse to begin the metamorphosis into whisky. Several years later they had their first whisky drawn from the casks. From then on the syndicate would bottle a cask and distribute bottles among themselves, creating a unique sampling line of this same Springbank distillate matured to various age statements. The syndicate’s aim was to enjoy their Springbank whisky each year and, as you can see by the very limited number of bottles left in this collection, they certainly were doing so. The original syndicate member who owned these bottles was very keen on sharing their whisky and gave many bottles to friends and family to enjoy.
