Final Thoughts

This Amontillado release illustrates textbook whisky messaging: scarcity, craftsmanship, collectibility. With a strong maturation narrative and robust early demand, it became a 194% flip in months. For collectors and investors alike, Springbank’s Sherry series is proving to be a reliable long‑term play—as production continues to wind down.
