Springbank 26 Years Single Cask Juuls 100th Anniversary Vintage 1999 Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 44.1%

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Springbank 26 Years Juuls 100th Anniversary

Is Springbank 26 Years Juuls 100th Anniversary worth the money?

Yes, the price reflects a genuine rarity - only 108 bottles from a single cask. The long maturation across two different cask types and the close tie to one of Denmark's oldest wine merchants make it a bottle that's hard to match.

How many bottles exist of this release?

There are exactly 108 bottles in total, drawn from a single cask at natural cask strength. Once they're gone, that's it - that's the whole point of a single cask.

What makes this Springbank special?

It's the unusual cask journey: 20 years in a first-fill sherry cask followed by 6 years in a refill bourbon cask. The combination gives a depth you rarely find in a single bottle of Springbank.

Is Springbank 26 Years a good gift?

Yes, especially for a collector or whisky enthusiast who values rarity and history. The limited size of the release and the anniversary story make it something genuinely special to give.

Can you still get hold of this whisky once it's sold out?

No, once the 108 bottles are sold, no more will be drawn from this cask. After that, the bottle will typically only be found on the secondary market.

At what temperature should Springbank 26 Years be enjoyed?

Room temperature gives the best experience, since cold mutes the aromas. Let the bottle sit out for an hour or so before pouring.

Should you add ice to an old single cask whisky like this?

No, ice will dull the subtle sherry and bourbon notes built up over 26 years of maturation. A few drops of water, on the other hand, can open the whisky up.

Which glass suits Springbank 26 Years best?

A tulip-shaped glass like a Glencairn gathers the aromas best and gives the full experience of sherry, salt and smoke. See our range of whisky glasses.

Why is Campbeltown considered its own whisky region?

Campbeltown once had over 30 distilleries and the status of whisky capital of the world. Today only three remain, but the region has kept its own status and style. See our range of Campbeltown whisky.

Why is Springbank distilled 2.5 times?

It's a unique process where part of the spirit is distilled twice and the rest three times, before being blended together. The method helps give Springbank its distinctive, complex style.

What's the story behind Juuls and this anniversary release?

Juuls Vin & Spiritus opened in 1926 as a small wine shop on Værnedamsvej and is today one of Denmark's leading spirits importers. This Springbank was bottled specifically to mark the 100th anniversary.
