Woodynd not sure if you seen this post http://www.scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1249 from William about Duke of Argyll whisky.

As you may already know Argyll is a Scottish county comprising of the mid west of Scotland and the islands off the coast. The Argyll of today is still largely identical to the old territory of the Clan Campbell, whose chief, the Duke of Argyll, maintains the ancestral home of the clan at Inveraray castle at Loch Fyne.
Apart from the extensive estates the Duke (who died in 2001) also had wide commercial interests, amongst other things he was engaged in the whisky business and was on the board of Campbell Distillers, the subsidiary of Pernod Ricard, and he profited from the sale of twhiskies which were decorated with his coat of arms and signature. These were commissioned by him for his Beinn Bhuidhe Holdings and filled as a blend and as a 12, 15 and 17 year old single malt.
Whilst Argylls colleague, the chief of the clan MacLeod from Dunvegan Castle on Skye, really only sold his single malt to visitors to his castle, the whisky from His Grace, The Duke, was not only available in Inveraray, but elsewhere as well.
Sorry i dont have any info as to what is in the bottle but would be interested to know where you got the info that it may be Springbank in the bottle. |
