NC2 stands for "non-coloured" and "non-chill-filtered" and as such bottlers Duncan Taylor proudly proclaim this range as "completely natural". Each cask in the NC2 range is matured at it's original distillery and hand-picked for bottling by Duncan Taylor.
Springbank is rare in still being a family owned distillery, and with most of its product sold as Single Malt and Single Cask. They are also one of only two distilleries in Scotland that performs every step of the process, from malting to bottling, all on the same premises. Even more unusual for Scotch whisky is their distillation process - even their own distillery branded bottles use a process they refer to as "distilled two-and-a-half times", which produces a purer, smoother spirit. However, it is also one of the most inactive distilleries, with the stills in operation for less than a third of the year. This mixture of quality and scarcity makes Springbank a highly sought-after malt.
