Kilkerran 8yo, Sherry Cask, 56.4% – Springbank Open Day 2016
For a change, this is not an old, forgotten sample from my cupboard. Which means as much as I knew I had it, but it still is old and from my cupboard, just not forgotten. A whisky friend went to … Continue reading

Springbank 12, 2001-2013, 53.5% – Springbank Society
It’s feels like it’s been ages since I got my hands on a Springbank Society bottling. I know there’s one sitting in Campbeltown which I was supposed to pick up last April. Obviously that didn’t happen, and I’m not entirely … Continue reading

Springbank 20, 1998-2018, Sherry cask, 48% – Antique Lions of Spirits
When I saw the price tag on this one I had to check whether there was a typo there. The ‘cheapest’ one clocks in at almost € 450. For a twenty year old Springbank. The danger of such ridiculously expensive … Continue reading

Springbank 22, 1997-2020, 55.4% – Private cask for HMMJ
Private casks are a bit more rare these days, than they were a decade or so ago. This is in part because it’s much harder to purchase casks from Springbank, and in part because Springbank started buying casks back year … Continue reading

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

Springbank 2004-2015, 51.9% – Malts of Scotland
It is no secret that I love Springbank. It more or less embodies everything I like so much about the world of whisky. They are a small company that works on a rather local scale without much happening outside of … Continue reading

Springbank CV, 46% – OB from 1997
Springbank CV. One of the earlier NAS whiskies to ever be mainstream. About a decade ago it was re-released with the other brands too, Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn. Three 20cl bottles in a small box. While these weren’t exactly bad, … Continue reading
Springbank 19, 2000-2020, 50.8% – The Whisky Kingdom for Wu Dram Clan
I got an announcement from Boris Borissov that they were on the verge of releasing a Springbank single cask. Knowing their aim for quality, and having experienced it through their Lagavulin and their Highland Park, I was thrilled immediately. What … Continue reading

Kilkerran 15 year old, 2004-2019, Fino Cask, 51.6% – OB for Bresser en Timmer
I have absolutely no idea how this one slipped by me. Maybe because I just wasn’t paying attention, but normally if there’s anything from Campbeltown in a Fino Cask coming out, I need to have it. Because it is delicious, … Continue reading
