Anomaly 26yo, Bourbon Hogshead, 49% – Cadenhead Online Tasting Week
With my order going horribly wrong last year, for Cadenhead and Springbank’s Online Tasting Week, I decided to skip this one, especially since Brexit had already happened too. Of course, most whiskies were probably awesome and very reasonably priced, because … Continue reading

Kilkerran 8, Cask Strength Batch 4, Re-charred Oloroso casks, 57.1%
Anything that comes from one of the Springbank brands is going to be popular. When it turns out to be a sherry cask matured something, at cask strength, it’s never going to be on a shelf in a shop until … Continue reading

Springbank 24, 51.7% – Elixir, Art of Whisky
Another sample I got from Fiddler’s Advent Calendar, late last year. And one I got quite excited about. It’s not everyday you get to try new, old Springbank. 24 years old is something that goes for quite a bit of … Continue reading
Hazelburn 13, 2007-2021, 48.6%
Honestly, I don’t even know if this is an annual release, or this just pops up with regular Springbank batches. I’ve not kept track. What Whiskybase can tell me, though, is that this is comprised of bourbon casks (75%) and … Continue reading

Springbank 10, 46%
Currently, due to COVID-19 and Brexit, it’s pretty hard to get a bottle of Springbank 10 in The Netherlands. A lot of bottle-shops are running out since it’s a quite popular whisky, the distillery hasn’t been able to bottle casks … Continue reading
Glen Scotia 26, 1992-2018, Bourbon Hogshead, 47.3% – Cadenhead
I went into this dram with great expectations. It’s Glen Scotia, which I love. It’s also Cadenhead, which I also love. Of course, both have their ups and downs. Since it’s been quite a while since I got this sample, … Continue reading

Springbank 23, 1996-2020, Fresh Sherry Hogshead 108, 47.3% – Private Bottling
Springbank of this age is getting expensive. While that is a well known fact nowadays, it seems that getting stuff like this for around € 400 is the best you can do, and there are quite some expressions (and therefore … Continue reading

Springbank 17, 2002-2020, Rum/Bourbon finished in Madeira, 47.8%
Let’s make recipes more complicated than necessary, shall we? This whisky matured for 14 years in Bourbon and Rum barrels, to be finished for three years in a fresh Madeira cask. All 9200 bottles were released last year and it … Continue reading

Springbank 14, 2002-2016, Bourbon Barrel, 47.7% – Cadenhead
It’s been a while since I wrote these tasting notes, but it’s Springbank and Springbank is not something to just forget about and not review it. I am a self-professed Springbank Fanboy, although I don’t even buy that much of … Continue reading
Springbank 12, 1991-2004, 46% – Hart Brothers
At a point in time when whisky was still a lot more affordable De Whiskykoning was not just a bottle-shop, but also an importer of several brands. Stuff happened and things changed, but there is still some stash from back … Continue reading
