Hello everyone!

I hope 2017 is treating you well so far. I’m sure it is. We are all back at work, some of our sales team have even been away to whisky shows already. Life in Campbeltown plows on as usual, largely unaffected by the outside world. It has not been that cold though (relatively speaking) considering it is January in Scotland. I’m sure winter will come.

And when it does we have whisky to keep us warm and on that note…

I am pleased to be writing to you all to talk about 2 Springbank releases.

Springbank 25yo

Yes, it’s finally ready. After unfortunate delays, I am pleased to say the new Springbank 25yo (46% abv) is bottled and ready to go.

Tasting notes

Nose: Lots of fruit with a mixture of grapefruit peel, dried tropical fruits, wine gums and a touch of cassis

Palette: Orange peel, honeycomb, brandy snaps, black pepper and tobacco leaf

Finish: Mineral notes combining with fennel, tea leaf and leather against a background of soft burning embers

It is available in our Campbeltown Cadenhead shop now and elsewhere in the UK from the end of this week. 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 shop@wmcadenhead.com .

If you would like to buy it directly from us you can contact our Campbeltown Cadenhead shop by calling +44 (0)1586 551710 or email shop@wmcadenhead.com. I will not be taking orders for this as I am not aware of our shop’s stock or allocation. There will be approximately 900 bottles available worldwide.

Need to know:

• The Campbeltown Cadenhead shop will be selling the Springbank 25yo for £350.00
• This is not a Society exclusive bottle
• This is not considered a core product so there will be no Society discount on this bottling.

Springbank 12yo Cask Strength

The second bottling I am happy to tell you all about is the Springbank 12yo CS, matured in 70% Sherry casks, 30% Bourbon casks and bottled at 54.2%.

Tasting notes

Nose: Forest full of pine and chestnut trees with iodine and a hint of peat

Palette: rich citrus marmalade on toast and toasted marshmallows, hint of vanilla and pepper. Meaty.

Finish: Viscous, with salty edge. Ham join marinated in a honey sauce.

• This is not a Society exclusive bottle
• This is a core product so the Society discount does apply on this bottling!

As you should all see below, there are some product sheets attached to this email which has tasting notes and other product information on them in a bit more detail than I included above. I am sure we shall all speak soon.

Slainte,
