Purchasing and delivery/collection

Please read this section carefully to ensure this process goes as smoothly as possible.

The bottle is available for £45.00 and initially it will be 1 per person however, once it becomes clear what the level of interest is, then it is possible you could get a second. 2 bottles per member will be the maximum. When you order a bottle please state if you would be interested in a second bottle.

We will only process email orders that come into the address society@springbank.scot. No phone orders.

When you first order a bottle, please tell us if any of the following things apply to you.

•  If you would like a second bottle
•  If you would like to collect it from one of our Cadenhead shops
•  If you are based in Canada
•  If you have any other delivery preferences (not covered by the points above) then it may be helpful, but not essential, if you would include them in your original email too.

Once you place your order you will receive an email back, letting you know that your order has been received and that a bottle has been reserved for you.  As is usual with a Society release, this may take several days. Please do not be alarmed if you do not hear back immediately.

Again, as is standard practice with Society bottles, if you wish for your Society bottle(s) to be sent to a Cadenhead shop on mainland Europe (Now Baden, Cologne and Odense) you will pay for them upon collection. We have processes in place to make sure these bottles arrive much faster than they have done for previous releases.

To clear up an inconsistency in the email sent last week we will not be sending any of the Society bottles to Cadenhead shops in Berlin or Salzburg. To repeat: sending bottles to the Berlin or Salzburg shop is not an option for the reasons we outlined in the previous email.

If you plan to have your Society bottle(s) sent to the Edinburgh or London shops then, as with the previous release, deliveries to these shops will be handled in a similar way to when Society bottles are sent to the other Cadenhead shops. Instead of charging £2 per bottle and delivering them individually, we will not charge anything for delivery and they will be sent as part of the scheduled Cadenhead shipments.

Once again we will only accept orders via email and strictly no phone orders.
