According to the brand: “The whisky has taken on an exceptionally rich, dark colour, an inviting hint as to dark fruited, subtly smoked, leathery and chocolatey spirit within”.

XOP The Black Series Springbank Vintage 1994, comes presented in packaging which is said to employ monochromatic colourways complemented by gold foil detail. Each bottle has been filled by hand and features an embossed metallised label, glass stopper and the signatures of Fred and Cara Laing.

Commenting on the launch, Cara Laing, Director of Whisky, said: “This Springbank ‘black beauty’ is an extraordinary encapsulation of everything our family business proudly represents: Quality, luxury and the utmost attention to detail. The maiden release in this new Single Cask Series certainly sets an exceptionally high benchmark for future bottlings, and we are poised to rise to that challenge!”

XOP The Black Series Springbank Vintage 1994, will be available later this month from specialist retailers, for a RRP of £800.00.
