I moved from the UK to Seattle last month. The first three respectable liquor stores I visited all had springbank 10 and 15 just sitting on the shelf. $115 for the 10 and $200 for the 15. After visiting the first shop I just assumed they were taking the piss with the price. By the third I realized this was the status quo. Sad times. Ironically I was able to pick up the 15 from the Whisky Exchange in Covent Garden for £77 the month prior - just sitting out on the shelf.

Also shout out to the whisky castle in tomintoul for pricing the 10 at £180 and the 15 at £230 when I visited last October. Shameful

I’ve been so excited to see the new release from SB in the build up to the 200th anniversary. Then they announce the 27yo at a whopping £2500+ ???? It’s such a shame that the vast majority of SB fans will never have an opportunity to own or even sample it. Be interested to hear your thoughts on this particular bottle pricing. It’s almost a £100 in the glass for every year in the cask! I appreciate how special it is. I appreciate the sentiment behind it. But it’s bottled at a hell of a price. 500 bottle at £2500 RRP = £1,250,000. Hopefully that money will be funnelled back into the “run of the mill” “achievable” core range to up production and out put, so the fans have an opportunity to buy their favourites again at RRP rather than the ridiculous, hiked up auction prices. Sorry, Just needed a bit of a Ralfy Rant in a safe place 😤🤣🙈

. . . simply not in my budget, and I would not buy. This is a 'collectors' series for mega-fans. At this moment in time we need more Springbank-like distilleries to add availability to the market.
