Springbank 21 Year 2018 is a mature Campbeltown single malt that sits among the distillery’s most desirable regular-age-statement releases. It offers the depth, scarcity and cult following that make Springbank’s older bottlings especially attractive in Hong Kong.
From the Producer
Springbank was founded in 1828 by Archibald Mitchell in Campbeltown, on the Kintyre peninsula, and has remained in the hands of his descendants' company, J&A Mitchell, ever since. It is the only distillery in Scotland that performs every stage of production on site -- floor-malting its own barley, mashing, fermenting in boatskin larch washbacks for up to 110 hours, distilling in three direct-fired copper stills, and bottling without chill filtration or added colour. Springbank whisky itself is distilled two-and-a-half times, a Campbeltown-specific process unique to the distillery. Campbeltown once had more than thirty working distilleries; today only three remain, and Springbank is the one most closely associated with the region's historic character. The 21 Year sits at the top of Springbank's regular core-range age statements and is bottled in far smaller volumes than the 10, 15 or 18 Year, reflecting the smaller stock of whisky the distillery had laid down two decades earlier during a period of lower production. This scarcity, combined with Springbank's cult reputation among collectors, is why 21 Year releases command strong secondary-market interest.
