Springbank 2001-2010, 8yo, Cognac Cask, 58.5% – Cadenhead
Back in 2010 I went to Scotland for the first time. My wife and I decided to do things right and we had some money in our pockets. I had just sold my Magic: The Gathering collection, something I now … Continue reading
Hey there, 2020!
While technically the new decade only starts next year, we’ve still moved from the tens to the twenties last week and that is much more noticeable than 2020 to 2021 is going to be. So, to get things going: Happy … Continue reading
Longrow 11yo, Refill Re-charred Sherry Butts, 56.9% – Springbank Society
This bottle was the first one I emptied this year. Of course, it’s only been a week, but still. This also means I’ve not done anything on this blog that has been a staple since the beginning, with end-of-year lists … Continue reading
Longrow 18, 1999-2018, 52.9% – OB from the Cage

Longrow 2001-2015, 13yo, Chardonnay Cask, 56.7% – Springbank Society
I’ve been a member for the Springbank Society for about seven or eight years now, and while I did miss out on some bottles, most of them have found their way to my shelf. Most of them have also been … Continue reading
Autumn clearance
Well, not really a clearance since that would involve big discounts. The misses and I have decided that it’s finally time to start doing some construction on our attic. It’s been in the pipeline for a few years but we’ve … Continue reading
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
