Ian Macleod Distillers is launching a rare, limited-edition Springbank 40 Year Old from its Chieftain's Single Malt Whisky collection.
Distilled in 1968 at the Springbank Distillery, Campbeltown, only 398 bottles of the natural strength, unchill-filtered whisky will be available.
It is the last, oldest and the best Springbank cask available from the current Chieftain's collection, says the distiller.
The bottle is presented in a silver leather-lined, solid oak box. Two silver plaques on the front display all the individual bottle details, as does the certificate of authenticity scroll, personally signed by Antony McCallum-Caron, Chieftain's Rare Malt Manager.
The limited-edition release of 398 bottles is available globally in travel retail at an RRP of £800. Commenting on the release Iain Weir said: "Chieftain's Springbank 40 Year Old is a truly rare and exceptional whisky which we are incredibly proud to include in our collection.
"The combination of age and the limited release of 398 bottles mean this will be a real collector's item, with its unparalleled quality making it a joy to drink."?
