There's frost in the air over the Kintyre peninsula, and behind Springbank's walls, time has been allowed to work quietly. This bottle comes from a single cask, filled in October 1999, long before anyone knew it would end up as a tribute to a hundred years of Danish wine trading. 26 years later, it stands as one of the rarest Springbank releases ever to leave the warehouse.
Expert's Description of Springbank 26 Years Single Cask Juuls 100th Anniversary
Springbank 26 Years Single Cask Juuls 100th Anniversary is a solo release from a single cask, filled directly in Campbeltown with no artificial colour and no chill-filtration. The whisky was distilled in October 1999 and spent its first 20 years in a first-fill sherry cask, before being transferred in 2019 to a refill bourbon cask, where it matured for a further six years. The cask yielded exactly 108 bottles at natural cask strength, 44.1%.
The release marks the 100th anniversary of Juuls Vin & Spiritus, which has imported Springbank to the Danish market since 1926, and was first unveiled at an anniversary tasting in January 2026.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dried figs, raisins and a touch of sherry sweetness mingle with salty sea air and a hint of beeswax. Underneath it all lies the gentle smokiness Campbeltown is known for.
Palate
Full-bodied and slightly oily, with caramelised sugar, dark chocolate and ripe stone fruit. Six years in the bourbon cask has softened the edges and added a touch of vanilla and toasted oak, without stealing the depth of the sherry.
Finish
Long, salty and slightly dry, with a closing hint of spiced ginger and a lingering smokiness that stays with you long after the last sip.

Did You Know?
Springbank is one of very few Scottish distilleries where the entire process - from malting the barley to the finished bottle - still takes place on the same site in Campbeltown.
