Springbank 26 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Matured for 26 years in a Refill Bourbon Hogshead, this whisky was distilled in the same year as the recording of The Man Who, the famous Travis album, and is now released coinciding with their latest album, L.A. Times.
The Springbank and Travis collaboration came about earlier in the year when plans began for the 20th anniversary of Kilkerran Single Malt, sister company of Springbank. Through the offering of a Springbank single cask and the help of Caskade, Travis headlined Kilkerran’s 20th anniversary celebrations in Campbeltown in July, and now follows their Springbank collaboration.

Press Release
Springbank’s Collaboration with Travis
Springbank Distillers has joined forces with the iconic multiple BRIT and Ivor Novello-winning Scottish rock band Travis to release a special collaborative bottling due out on 14th August 2024. Coinciding with the release of Travis’s new album, L.A. Times, this 26 year old bourbon matured Springbank was carefully selected in partnership with the band and proudly displays the L.A. Times album artwork.
The Springbank and Travis collaboration was initiated in conjunction with a different, but closely connected, Campbeltown whisky: Kilkerran Single Malt. Their shared parent company, J&A Mitchell & Co, sought to make 2024 a year of celebrations in Campbeltown in order to mark the 20th anniversary of Kilkerran, first produced in March 2004. At the forefront of these celebrations was to be a night of music in Campbeltown’s Victoria Hall, for which J&A Mitchell had set their sights on Travis as the headline act.
With the help of Caskade Drinks, a Glasgow-based collective known for its bottling collaborations with celebrated Scottish artists, the groundwork began to bring Travis to Campbeltown to mark this milestone for Kilkerran. Of great advantage in these negotiations was the band’s fondness of Kilkerran’s sister malt, Springbank.
A distillery revered for its traditional production processes and small volume production, it is uncharacteristic of Springbank to offer single casks, but the opportunity to partner with the Scottish music giants was too good to pass up. A deal was struck for a single cask collaboration with Springbank and Travis, in exchange for the band performing at the Kilkerran 20th anniversary celebration in Campbeltown.
Saturday 13th July was a night to remember in Campbeltown with Travis headlining the celebrations, along with support from the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and local band, Fling. Importers, retailers and supporters of Kilkerran were welcomed to Campbeltown from all over the world to enjoy the Scottish entertainment and commemorate the distillery’s milestone.
A limited release of 234 bottles, the Springbank Travis bottling will be available to buy at www.springbank.scot for £1,250 from 12 noon BST on Wednesday 14th August.
