Bottling Notes

This Springbank First Release 16-year-old Local Barley was made in the same proud tradition of those mid 1960’s Local Barley beasts released in the 1990’s. It’s the 1st in a series of five expressions released over five years (2016-2020), made using ‘Prisma’ barley that was grown just a few miles outside of Campbeltown at Low Machrimore Farm on the Kintyre Peninsula. The spirit was aged in combination of 80% ex-bourbon casks and 20% European oak ex-sherry cask with a release of 9000 bottles worldwide.
