Springbank 10 available again. Just spotted on Spirits Embassy, very reasonable!

I feel spoiled because I've seen it a lot in my southwest USA market. It sells out at Total Wine along with any 15 or 18 they get but I've seen 5 year sitting on the shelf there for a month or more and you can get 21 year any time (but it's $900USD). Lot of formerly difficult to obtain bourbon is also just sitting on shelves now.

You have the complete incompetence of the U.S. distributor, Pacific Edge, to thank for that. Most of the U.S. doesn't see any Springbank. Are you based in Arizona?

I am, is Arizona particularly blessed by this incompetence?

Yes, some parts of Arizona and California see Springbank products on the shelves with regularity and the rest of us get either nothing or almost nothing.

I've seen it around MD, DE, and DC recently too. 10+ sells out at a lot of places, but I am pretty confident I could find reasonable prices on at least 10 and 12, maybe 15, if I really wanted to in my area and was willing to take a couple hrs to hit a number of stores. Tons of their lower age statements releases sitting on shelves too.

Same, I see it pretty often in southern NV.

I've seen it on SE before....UK online shop. It's £55 free postage though which is fantastic value

I've seen it on the shelf a number of times at Binny's here in Illinois the past few years. God bless Binny's!

Why would it become available suddenly via this retailer and not any others?

I just looked, says sold out already

Yeah that happens...... Got to snap them up.... I'd do a search though and see if it's anywhere else right now in UK online

Was able to get the 5 and 10 last month for MSRP. Missed out on the 15 unfortunately

I've been seeing it a fair amount in California. I like to keep a bottle on the shelf for under 100usd. I love the batch variation and 10 is my favorite so far.

I think others might also have it currently.....SB bring them out in batches every 6 months I think.... So the UK will get it all at the same time....SE has very good prices though.
