Springbank Local Barley Cask 481 1966 is a single cask whisky from the renowned Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Distilled in February 1966, this expression spent 31 years maturing in a Bourbon barrel before bottling at cask strength of 55.1% in February 1997. Sourced from barley grown locally in the Kintyre peninsula, the whisky showcases the distillery`s traditional production methods, including on-site floor maltings and a unique two-and-a-half-times distillation process. The nose reveals notes of tropical fruits, beeswax, and maritime salinity, while the palate offers an oily texture with complex layers of smoke and earthiness. This release remains a cornerstone for collectors and highlights the rich history of mid-century Scottish whisky making.

Springbank

The Jewel of Campbeltown

Founded in 1828 by the Reid family, Springbank was acquired by the Mitchell family less than a decade later and has been operated by them ever since. Situated in Campbeltown, on the west coast of Scotland, Springbank actually produce whisky in three distinct styles under three different labels - Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn. Springbank is produced using the distillery's distinctive '2.5 times' distillation technique, Longrow is a double-distilled whisky made with heavily peated malt and Hazelburn is a smooth, triple distilled single malt.

Official bottlings are, thankfully, still very common and independent bottlings also quite easy to track down. Springbank has long experimented with cask finishes and experimental limited editions. In recent years, a three bottle series of "local barley" editions focussed on whisky produced using only malt from farms close to the distillery.
