Longrow 18, 1999-2018, 52.9% – OB from the Cage
Longrow, the ‘peated-to-Islay-levels’ version of Springbank with a slightly shorter distillation regime, is one of their three brands. With it being a Springbank whisky, it means they have cage bottles available at the shop in Campbeltown. When I was there … Continue reading

Hazelburn 2005-2018, 54.6% – Cadenhead Authentic Collection
When I bought this bottle I figured it would be a slam dunk because Springbank is a great distillery, and Cadenhead is a great bottler. Also, when you check the almost 87 points it gets on Whiskybase, you’re still good. … Continue reading

Burnside 1991-2018, 26yo, 46.7% – Cadenhead’s

Glen Grant 25, 1993-2018, 50.8% – Cadenhead’s Club
With most clubs associated with distilleries or bottlers you wonder what it’s for. In a lot of cases it is barely more than a quarterly newsletter and some ‘exclusive’ section of their website that barely offers any added value. Of … Continue reading

Cadenhead’s bottle-share
Towards the end of last October I did yet another ‘last’ bottle share of the year. The last one because I had been stressing my wallet, and everyone else’s in my sharing group. Of course, that wasn’t true and I … Continue reading

I just opened up the stats on this Kilkerran on Whiskybase and it’s currently going for € 162. It was released in July, and back then it was not even € 80. It has already doubled in price. Maybe at … Continue reading
