Lot number: 065-0792

Winning bid: £130

There are several factors that make the Springbank distillery unique. It is the oldest distillery in Scotland owned by the same family, 100% of the production process is carried out on one site, and it remains the largest private employer in Campbeltown employing over 60 people.

To celebrate the 180th anniversary of Springbank Distillery in 2008 Frank McHardy was asked to have a "rummage in the dunnage" and find something special for the Springbank Society. He came up with casks 18, a refill sherry butt distilled 23/5/1997, and cask 28, a refill sherry hogshead distilled 7/5/1993.

Distilled: May 1997

Bottled : September 2008
