Springbank 1992-2019, 47.7% – Whisky Kingdom & Duckhammers Rare & Fine

Posted on 2 July 2019 by

I snickered at the name ‘Duckhammers’. It seems like a very inefficient hunting tool. Anyway, I got a sample of this in the mail a little while ago with the request to review it soonish. Unfortunately, it got ridiculously hot … Continue reading →

Bad-Ass Whisky Night #4

Posted on 21 June 2019 by

My backlog of things to blog about is massive. I still have notes lying around from tastings I went to three years ago, and I still mean to use them for a write-up at some point. However, this tasting was … Continue reading →

A bottling done five years ago to commemorate the 700th Anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn, logically in 1314 AD. It was released by Springbank distillery, so logically this would be rather similar to their Campbeltown Loch series. Also, a … Continue reading →

Springbank 23, 1995-2018, 48% – WhiskyNerds

Posted on 26 November 2018 by

It’s not been two weeks since I did the previous review of a WhiskyNerds bottling. That Lagavulin 21 was amazing, and hot on the heels of that one comes a fresh sherry matured, 23 year old Springbank. Their Lagavulin scoreed … Continue reading →

Two Springbanks from the Cage!

Posted on 10 September 2018 by

When in Campbeltown you have to visit Cadenhead’s. Especially since Mark Watt took over they’ve quickly become one of the, if not the, best bottler I know. However, when at Cadenhead’s, you’re technically also at Springbank. And, maybe coincidentally, that … Continue reading →
