From the Producer
Springbank has sold private casks to individuals and companies for decades, and the resulting bottlings are filled at the distillery in Campbeltown under the J. & A. Mitchell & Co. licence that the family has held since 1828. A 1974 distillate predates the distillery's 1979 shutdown, so it comes from the old pre-closure production, made with floor-malted barley and the same two-and-a-half-times distillation regime used today, then matured in the distillery's own warehouses on the Campbeltown shore. Specialist references list this cask, number 1157, as a 1974 vintage bottled in 2003 at 28 years old, with a reported outturn of 630 bottles.
