INSIDE THE SPRINGBANK DISTILLERY SHOP 

So impressive, the standard they set and maintain is top notch. I agree with secondary market point too, it's a shame genuine whisky drinkers are missing out to flippers but that is the way of the beast. Thanks for another great video.

Very cool video. Need for the life of me to visit Springbank. Cheers!

Thanks for the lovely shop visit and reminder of our own good memories

I got my 27y 200 year anniversary bottle coming, I would definitely love to come down and see the distillery 😊

The only time you’ll see Springbank on Shelves!

Great video & though I alas haven't been there yet, it is always a pleasure to meet Nicole in shows here in Paris or see videos of distillery visits with her giving apparently top notch tours...I can't get enough of her lovely accent, btw (& I understand she's originally from Islay, so it is a not the Campbeltown one). Yes everytime I speak of Springbank on my channel, website or live chats, people surprised to all I had access 20 to 10 years ago, but it was a different world, supply & demand wise as you or Nicole mentioned it...There was even a time where I could try a dram of original Local Barley series (one of the SCs vintage 1966, for instance) for little less than the price of a full bottle of the 10 yo, but now it's too late (for those who wonder, and I can say that of the core range too from 20 years ago) they're different from the ones nowadays....Batch variations at Springbank, as I'm sure you know, are almost the "standard" policy in a way, as they like to experiment, even if there is a red thread I think among em, for instance the famous "Campbeltown funk", even if (& I will come back to this question in a future video in which I'll be reviewing 4 generations of Springbank 10 yo), the funk didn't exist in many older bottlings I tried, believe me or not...Just subded to your channel, btw, and still looking forward to try a sample I swapped last year of one of your very original blended malts...(the first one for Summerton Club)

I popped down yesterday. What a cool wee shop. I hadn’t realised that signing the bottle from the cage was an anti flipper thing. I’d thought it was just a nice thing to do. The demijohn are a brilliant wee twist on the handfill idea too. Was with people so didn’t spend too long in shop but would love to come back and peruse it all more comprehensively as well as maybe doing the tour and that’s before we get in to other distilleries. Cadenhead’s and Hall’s are also amazing shops to visit. I think a proper stay in Campbeltown is required!

Must make the pilgrimage! Glad i stocked up a few years ago ! Time to sip....slowly

I wish i spoke english like the Whisky Baron. The way he pronounces "fantaaastic"!!! Gosh, made my day. I would repeat the word all day, just for the sake of it.

I got a trip planned to go there in may!! Super excited

I love the idea of putting your name on the bottle for those duty paid samples that people would normally hock on the secondary market

Almost brings tears to my eyes, as Springbank is so hard to get anymore and I refuse to pay the secondary prices. Have moved on.

The holy grail!

Wow, those bottles actually exist?!?!?

It's terrible that most Springbank whisky bought ends up at auction. You just need to look at the auctions in the U.K and between them all, there's about 1000 Springbank every month. On some occasions you'll see a Springbank that you've never seen before,but they get snapped up aswell.The ten year old only makes an extra £20-£30 but they still appear,is it really worth doing it? The only good thing though is, if you want a Springbank then you can get one ,if you have the money. Thanks for the video.👍

Getting to go in July for the 1st time. What time do I need to turn up in the morning to ensure a nice choice from the cage? Thanks!

Im taking a trip to Cambeltown from the Isle of man in april for 3 days to do some whisky stuff, that shop better have a bottle of springbank 10 for me!

Excellent video. Gosh, it wasn't so long ago I could buy any Springbank I wanted. Anything. It's gone so crazy now. I love Nicole and what she says makes so much sense. Nevertheless, I have to say that the distillery is letting its U.K customers down. I know the whole world wants the stuff but they are getting way more than us. Local Barley is ballot only unless you're on good terms with a handful of Scottish retailers. What on earth is going on? By the way don't buy all the guff about pricing for the people. The 21 and 25 are obscenely priced as is the Local Barley. It is lovely whisky but the hype is completely bonkers. What can I say, that's how it is. Great video mate. WT

Campbeltown Loch is fantastic value.

The cage is a great PR tool.

I just cried...

Wow

So how many bottles are you permitted to buy? It's an awfully long way to travel from the south of England if you are only able to buy one bottle. Thanks.

Bro, "the every day man" doesn't have thousands of dollars to fly to Scotland, get a hotel, stand in line, and lose a bunch of pay to pick up a Springbank at the distillery shop. Let's call a spade a spade. I love Springbank, but keeping the MSRP low is just a cheap marketing technique to have a bunch of flippers produce scarcity. They should raise prices to what the secondary market is to kill secondary and let market forces determine what the actual price is. This is really not working in favor of the average drinker. Trust me.

Springbank is impossible to buy, thats why id rather drink 50 yo Brandy for 250 dollars than 15 yo springbank. Hype,greed and extortion of secondary market and auctions.Shame indeed .
