Longrow 21, 46% – OB for the Springbank Open Day 2016
When this one was announced, I got all giddy on the inside. That was slightly lessened by the price of a bottle, but I still was enthusiastic about it. A 21 year old Longrow. There’s only ever been one Longrow … Continue reading

Tamnavulin 1967-2010, 43yo, 41% – The Whisky Agency
A properly ancient whisky that I picked up for a bottle-share. Which, somehow, never filled up, so I had to drink it myself. Bummer. It seems that most bottle-shares I do with those pricier, older whiskies never fill up. That’s … Continue reading

A whisky tasting with Jock Shaw – part 2
The second bit of the tasting review. A tasting organized by Drinks & Gifts for the customers of the shop, hosted by Jock Shaw. I described the tasting itself yesterday, and don’t have much to add to it. Jock was … Continue reading

Highland Park 1999, 16yo, cask 4260, 56.6% – Gordon & MacPhail for The Whisky Exchange
The second sample I got from The Whisky Exchange is a cask strength Highland Park from 1999. About the same age (or exactly the same age) as the Aberlour. This one’s from a bourbon cask, which deviates a little bit … Continue reading

Balmenach 1988-2014, 25yo, 54.3% – Signatory Vintage
Balmenach is one of those distilleries that you don’t see many bottlings of. The first one I ever tried was a dirty and slightly rubbery Blackadder bottling, probably about ten years ago. They were put on my map again in … Continue reading

Springbank 1998-2013, 14 years old, 54.3% – Whiskybroker.co.uk
Another bottler that somehow is not on my radar. Which is a silly thing since most of what Martin Armstrong (the son of the former Bladnoch distillery owner) releases is at least decent in quality, and the bottles are quite cheap, … Continue reading

Springbank 1996-2016, 19yo, cask 550, 56.4% – Archives
This just occurred to me: If I just repost the entire post from yesterday, only a very limited amount of people would notice, and I’d get away with it. Sort of. This ‘second’ cask, to me at least, logically it … Continue reading

Springbank 1996-2016, 19yo, cask 551, 54.9% – Archives
Contrary to the big boys of whisky blogging, I’m not going to write the three Springbank reviews of the newest Whiskybase Archives batch in one go. Mostly because that would leave me with little else to blog about for the … Continue reading
