Springbank 1998 Vintage Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ~48.3% ABV (96.6 Proof) | 700 mL
Process & Profile
The Springbank 1998 Vintage marks the launch of a new Vintage Series, replacing the brand’s traditional 25-year release. Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2025, this expression showcases nearly 27 years of maturation in a combination of two refill and two first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a deep, sherried single malt that reflects the nuanced, maritime character and classic Campbeltown depth that Springbank is known for. Only 1,500 bottles were released globally.
