Springbank Society “Society Bottle and Online Tasting” – Scotch Whisky News

Coming Soon – Society Bottle and Online Tasting

Our new Society exclusive bottling and Society online tasting are coming soon. We will make the Springbank 8yo bottle and the tasting packs – featuring four Springbank 28yo samples – available to members as soon as possible. Also, during the tasting members will have the chance to help us select a future Society release because we will be asking for your feedback to help us make that choice.—

We are unable to confirm a release date for the new bottling and tasting packs at this time as we have been forced to temporarily suspend shipping to Europe as a consequence of the UK’s exit from the EU. We are working very hard behind the scenes to get to grips with the new regulations and will resume as soon as we have everything in place. We will keep you updated over the coming weeks. —

Society Bottle – Springbank 8yo Fresh Oloroso Sherry 57.3%

£55.00

We are launching the new Springbank Society Bottling soon – a Springbank 8yo Fresh Oloroso Sherry bottled at 57.3%. There will be 1,830 bottles available.

Nose: Rich, fruity, sweet and spicy, a true sherry maturation for this Society release. With notes of dried prunes, dates and figs, a dusting of cocoa powder and aromas of warming spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg and clove characteristics with the citrus tang of orange marmalade.

Palate: Sticky ginger cake and zesty orange marmalade. Creamy and jammy but with a peppery, BBQ smoky edge. Enduring rich fruit and spice characteristics.

Finish: Lasting citrus fruit characteristics and sticky glazed gingerbread. There is a touch of delicate peat smoke, soft brown sugar, ripe black cherries and juicy blackberries.

Please Note:

  • Both the Society Bottle and the Tasting Pack will be allocated via a ballot – further details will be provided closer to the time.
  • Each Society member will be able to enter the ballot for a maximum of one bottle and one tasting pack.
  • At the time of writing, we are not currently accepting any entries to the ballot, nor can we accept orders in any other way.
  • If you need to contact us for any reason please email society@springbank.scot. Our team are currently working from home and therefore we will not be in the office to answer any phone calls.
  • Although we will be able to deliver your order to your home address, due to the current Covid-19 situation throughout Europe, we will not be able to ship items to any Cadenhead’s shop. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We will be back in touch in due course but if you have any questions in the meantime, please let us know via society@springbank.scot.
