Springbank 1979 Samaroli

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 the only distillery to malt, distil, bottle and mature whisky on the same site, and produces three distinct and highly prized single malts.

A fantastic vintage bottling of Springbank from Silvano Samaroli. This was bottled in 1993 as part of the Aquarelles series, along with a 1977 Ardmore, and a 1971 vintage Glenlivet. An 'aquarelle' is a type of painting produced using thin transparent watercolours. All of the paintings featured on these labels were produced by Silvano himself.

Samaroli are perhaps Italy's most revered independent bottler of Scotch whisky. With an impeccable taste in single cask whiskies, and an eye for aesthetics (if not English spelling at times!), founder Silvano Samaroli is regarded by many as a visionary. Since his passing in 2017, the company has been run by his friend Antonio Bleve, who continues his tradition of high quality releases. Many of Silvano’s early bottlings occupy deserved spots on the pantheon of all-time whisky greats.

This was distilled in 1979 and bottled from cask #473 by R.W. Duthie, one of the last of their partnership with Samaroli which ended not long after due to their workload commitments with Cadenhead's.

One of 240 bottles.
