product Details

Springbank 1996 First Editions 20 Year Old Author's Series / Benjamin Disraeli

Springbank distillery has been owned and operated by the Mitchell family in Campbeltown since 1837, and it one of Scotland's most revered distilleries. Following a brief mothballing between 1979 and 1987, upon the reopening the decision was taken to cease all sales to the blending industry and focus on its single malt sales. Today it is one of the only distilleries to malt, distil, bottle and mature whisky on the same site, and produces three distinct and highly prized single malts.

This whisky was distilled in October 1996. It was aged in a single ex-Sherry hogshead for 20 years before being bottled in November 2016. Part of the Author's Series,  this particular bottle celebrates Benjamin Disraeli.

Edition Spirits was founded in 2010 by Scott and Andrew Laing, the sons of Douglas Laing founder, Stewart. When he left Douglas Laing to establish the new Hunter Laing company in 2013, he was joined by his sons who made Edition Spirits one of its operating arms, along with Langside Distillers.

One of 67 bottles.
