Springbank Society Online Tasting Week Announcement – Scotch Whisky News

ONLINE TASTING WEEK ANNOUNCEMENT

SOCIETY RELEASE AND TASTING UPDATE

With the continued uncertainty surrounding live events and large gatherings due to the pandemic, we made the difficult decision to cancel our Malts Festival in Campbeltown for the second year running. 

In October 2020 we held our first online tasting events over five evenings focusing each night on one of the group brands. With the success of this, we have decided to arrange our Online Tasting Week 2.0 and are pleased to share the dates with you. We hope you will be able to join us!

SAVE THE DATES
Monday 10th – Friday 14th May 2021
More details to follow in due course.
