Springbank’s Local Barley 2010 (13 YO) release flipped for over 2x retail, thanks to its rarity, distillery rep, and collector demand.
Springbank continues to dominate the whisky resale game, this time with a rare 1998 vintage bottling. Released quietly and in limited numbers, it was extremely tough to acquire. However, members who moved fast secured units early thanks to timely alerts. With auction resale already doubling RRP and momentum still growing, this has all the signs of a classic long-term hold. Even among premium Scotch drops, this stands out for both scarcity and brand prestige.

Those who managed to secure one are now sitting on £400+ profit with room to grow. As auctions heat up and collectors catch wind, the ceiling is far from reached.
