Yep, you read that right, Springbank. THE Springbank. Our Club had planned to visit in person for the Campbeltown Malts Festival this month, but with the shutdown spoiling the fun, we’re thrilled to announce that we'll be hosting a virtual Campbeltown Malts Festival celebration of Springbank on Friday, May 29th at 5pm EST. We’re thrilled to welcome as our guest speaker Ranald Watson, Springbank’s Director of Sales and Marketing. This is something we’ve been working on for a while, and let’s just say we were not fucking around. We’ve spent nearly half a year preparing for this event scouring the secondary market for special Springbank bottles dating back to the 1960s, and our final lineup is unreal. Of course, we weren’t able to find 2 bottles of everything, so each person who signs up will have to choose between SET A, SET B, or Dealer’s Choice….
