Greetings Society Members. It’s a sunny day in Campbeltown, I am back at my desk and have caught up on work since returning from my holiday.

The Society Bottle is now in the shop and ready to go. As you know it is a Springbank 14 year old, which has been 7 years in a Port cask and 7 years in a refill bourbon cask, very, very yummy!!!! The colour is dark amber, nose: fruity, cantaloupe melon, tangerines, clemetines, shortbread and icing. Palate: Nougat, dark red forrest fruits, nutty, sweet and deliciously oily. Finish: Looooooong finish, hints of peat evident, a good honest Kintyre dram.

The cost of the bottle in the UK is £50 plus postage and packing. We will be sending it out to our other Cadenhead Shops in Denmark, Germany (Cologne & Berlin) and Switzerland, but you should order in the normal way through Campbeltown. When we have the orders for the other shops then they will be given their allocation and a note of the names and society numbers of those of you who have ordered. When the bottles are being dispatched to the other shops you will get an email to advise that you can contact which ever shop you have chosen when ordering and you will pay that shop for your bottle plus postage and packing.

We are hoping that the price in the EU shops will be roughly the same price as you would pay here, you will not pay UK duty and VAT but obviously will pay duty and tax for the appropriate country. Hopefully this will work, we can but try. Sorry for the way in which we have to do this but we need to know how many bottles to send to each shop.

Unfortunately this bottle will not be available in the USA but we are working with a new importer to change this. We are also hoping to set something up in Canada so that it can also be sent there.

So, I’ll be sitting here waiting to hear from you, ready to get things going.
