Springbank is a distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Their production is limited to just over 700,000 liters per year. Every aspect of the whisky production is hand crafted without using any sort of technology. The distillery's character is unique in the world: a strong, with a highly complex character. Their limited editions, if the regular production is excluded, are sold out in no time. In this case, the tasting is based on a single cask, selected by Edition Spirits. The brand was founded by Scott and Andrew Laing, sons of the famous Stewart Laing, an independent bottler of the brands Hunter Laing and Douglas Laing. It aged in an ex-Bourbon cask, No. HL12708 to be precise.

The Springbank 1995/2016 The First Edition pairs the complexity of the distillery, with a unique character that mellowed out throughout the years in the barrel. The spicy part is well above medium. It remains a high-level whisky, to be approached with the right attention and time.
