The Starkicker Syndicate
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Springbank distillery, hoping to raise capital and publicity following a period of closure, offered a number of whisky casks to the public. Whisky lovers purchased these casks in groups known as syndicates. And now, decades later, private Springbank syndicate bottlings with impressive vintages and age statements are making their way onto the secondary market.
This particular Springbank syndicate produced a series of private bottlings name ‘Starkicker’. The Starkicker bottles display the flag of Scotland and the Royal Banner of Scotland (sometimes called the Scottish Rampant Lion) intwined on the label.
Each bottle also features a line from poems by Robert Burns (1759-1796), who is often considered Scotland’s national poet, and was also a lover of Scotch whisky.

Springbank Distillery
Springbank is a distillery that has always walked its own path. Part of the reason that they have reached the pinnacle of whiskies for collectors is that they have always been led by their whisky, whisky that is consistently high quality and appropriately priced. Springbank are family owned and their huge success means that they struggle to say yes to new accounts for retailers due to their carefully limited output. They’ve even put a pause on their Springbank Society Membership as they just can’t keep up with demand.
