Springbank 1996/2008 Refill Hogshead Douglas Laing 50% vol. 0,7l

Douglas Laing & Co. was founded in 1950 as a blending company.
The core business is still old-fashioned blends - the main markets for Douglas Laing & Co. are Latin America and Asia.
Since this business has been declining since the mid-90s, it has been decided to fill the best malts from its own stock as a single malt.
This resulted in the high quality "The Old Malt Cask" series as well as the "McGibbon's Provenance" series.

Springbank "The old Malt Cask"
Springbank is one of Scotland's last independent distilleries.
It has been managed since 1837 by the Mitchell family, who traditionally produce and bottle their malt from start to finish.
Springbank dispenses with colorants and cold filtration, and the malt is produced as naturally as possible.
There used to be over 30 distilleries in Campbeltown (located on the Kintyre Peninsula) - today Springbank is here, along with Glen Scotia, the last still producing distillery.

Single cask bottling with a circulation of 358 bottles.
The sea air gives this whiskey its legendary salt tone.
