A COUPLE FROM SPRINGBANK

Just when you think you have all you are going to get for Christmas, up pops your best mate with these two.
This is the Springbank malt in my collection, Springbank distillery is in Campbeltown in the Kintyre region of Scotland. The distillery malts its own barley, one of only a few distilleries to do so, it is also the first distillery to produce an organic malt whisky.
