Springbank 18 Year Old (Old Edition): Why is it more sought after than the current edition?

While both are Springbank 18 Year Olds, the difference between the "old edition" and the current edition is often directly reflected in their resale value. The old edition refers to earlier bottled batches with packaging and label designs that differ from the currently circulating version, typically featuring older designs such as a dark blue/purple outer box. Since these batches are no longer produced and only existing stock circulates in the market, their quantity will only decrease over time. Springbank itself is one of the few family distilleries in Campbeltown that still malts its own barley entirely, with limited production capacity. The scarcity of the old edition 18 Year Old is thus further amplified – this is precisely the most valuable bargaining chip for sellers holding the old edition.

Due to its limited production, Springbank has always been renowned in the secondary market for being "older and rarer": different eras' label fonts, outer box colors, and bottle details become criteria for collectors to identify and price.
