A limited edition 15 year old blended whisky has been specially created by Springbank Distillers Ltd for the Edinburgh International Festival to mark the 15th and final year of Festival Director Sir Brian McMaster's inspirational leadership.

Only 2006 bottles of this special blend made from a range of well aged single malt and grain whiskies will be released. The first of the 2006 bottles was presented to Sir Brian McMaster.

Springbank whiskies have many connoisseur fans who will be interested in this new blend. A long marrying period and the exceptional casks used, have resulted in a rich, malty whisky. The autumn fruits, raspberry and oak on the nose develop into a rich and creamy palate with spicy oak and malt notes coming through.

In Edinburgh, bottles will be available exclusively from the Cadenhead’s Whisky Shop, 172 Canongate, at the lower end of the Royal Mile. Alternatively, a mail order service is offered, either on line at www.springbankwhisky.com or by phoning 01586 551710. The Edinburgh Festival blend will cost £35 and is available now and while stocks last throughout the Festival.
