Dear Society Members,

Hope you are all well, has much changed since last week when we spoke last? Before we get to our exciting news, just a quick update on the most recent society bottle, the Springbank 8yo Sherry. If you told me you wanted to collect your bottles from the Cologne, Berlin, Odense or Salzburg shops then your bottles should be there by now (and you hopefully will already have received an email from me about that). However, please contact the appropriate shop to check if you have a long distance to travel just to be sure. If you have any problems or questions, send me an email and I will do my very, very best to get back to you: society@springbankwhisky.com.

Springbank 12yo Cask Strength 56.3%

We are delighted to announce the release of our new Springbank 12yo Cask Strength. This has been matured in 70% Sherry Casks and 30% Bourbon Casks and bottled at 56.3% abv.

Tasting notes.

Nose: A wonderful concoction of nuts, toffee and marzipan among softer notes of coconut, creme brûlée and honeycomb.

Palate: A beautiful balanced dram with further notes of honeycomb along with toffee cream, chocolate, dried fruits and raisins.

Finish: Long, big and gentle with traditional dunnage warehouse notes accompanied by sweet salted caramel and maple syrup.

It is available in the UK from today (Friday 12th August) and is available throughout over 20 countries. Releases in other countries/markets will vary throughout the weeks ahead. Please contact your local retailers and stockists for more information, details of whom can be found by visiting http://www.springbankwhisky.com/distributors/.

Important: This will not be available to order through me, nor can I pre-order or reserve you a bottle as this is not a Society bottle. 

Or if you would like to buy it directly from us you can contact our Campbeltown Cadenhead shop by calling +44 (0)1586 551710.

Springbank 12yo Cask Strength will be available in our shop for £47.00.

Lastly, I know we teased you all on social media, particularly Twitter and Instagram, about the above Cask Strength (that was cruel) but I wanted to quickly address a point that came up from that. Many of you thought the announcement would be the next Society bottle, which will actually be out in late Autumn/Fall as far as I’m aware. I wouldn’t do that to you. Hopefully, the outside world will not hear of a new Society bottle before you guys do, there will be no mention of it on social media beforehand. The Society is just for members.

But while we are on the subject of social media…
