Springbank 12, Cask Strength, Batch 24, 54.1%

Kilkerran 11, Open Day 2017, 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel, Triple Distilled, 60.3%
By now it’s almost six years ago I got these samples from Ben Cops’ ‘Campbeltown Mega Share’, back when that particular bottle-share group was still active. He also used to run a whisky blog but that seems to be on … Continue reading
Longrow 15, Oloroso Hogsheads, 56.2% – Open Day 2022
I’m glad this one only had a Whiskybase number on the side of the bottle instead of a full label. That would have caused much more anticipation and maybe would have been suggestive in to what to expect. Of course, … Continue reading
Longrow 15, 2006-2022, Fresh Sherry Hogshead, 53.8% – The Cage

Springbank ‘The Peat Bog’ 29, 1990-2019, Bourbon Cask 204, 47.5% – Glenscoma
Since this was released in 2019, and I was very active in the whisky scene (as a consumer) I would expect to be aware this bottle existed. Of course, I was not, and it wasn’t until I saw it listed … Continue reading
Springbank Cask Strength, 12yo, Batch 20, 55.3%
These Springbank Cask Strength bottlings are always a sure bet. I’ve not tried all of them, but I did have quite a few over the years, so far none of them were disappointing. This specific version was released in 2020, … Continue reading
Hazelburn 11, 2007-2019, Re-Charred Bourbon Barrels, 54.2% – Springbank Society
This is one with a bit of history. I ordered it from the Society back in 2019, and even though I tried arranging pick-up or delivery quite a few times, it never actually happened. I was only able to pick … Continue reading
