Funny story about our second KWM Springbank cask, after bottling it, one of the customers who helped Andrew select the first recognized the cask number on this one as being our second choice the first time around... what are the odds? This 13-year-old Springbank was matured in an Oloroso Sherry Cask, No.269, bottled at 55.8%. Our first Springbank Cask, 1996 No. 258 was a 12-year-old Manzanilla cask matured whisky.
