Longrow Red, 11yo, Australian Shiraz Cask, 53.7%
While we thought we finished the tasting with a couple of cracking drams, there came out another bottle to supplement them all. Well, we didn’t finish the tasting with some cracking drams, the entire tasting consisted of it. Maybe apart … Continue reading

Springbank 12, Cask Strength, 2013 edition, 53.1%
The annual release of Springbank’s Cask Strength edition is something that sneaks by me most of the time. I’m usually a big fan of Springbank but this release usually isn’t on my radar for some reason. That means I’ve not … Continue reading

I’ve been blogging about money quite a few times, if I remember correctly. What I didn’t tell so far is that I’ve been overspending in a rather ridiculous way the last year. It’s not that I cannot pay my bills … Continue reading

Springbank 21, 46% – 1998
A rather old bottling of Springbank 21. According to Rob at De Whiskykoning (I’ve been mentioning him and his shop a lot, lately) “the best whisky ever made“. He apparently has a few cases of it on his ‘retirement pallet’ … Continue reading
Springbank 21, 46%, 2012
Ah, Springbank 21! One of the few bottlings of last year that I really wanted to try, but didn’t want to buy. When it came it out it was available for about € 250 or so, which I find too … Continue reading
Springbank CV, 46%
Another one from the CV range from this iconic Campbeltown distillery. What CV stands for is kind of weirdly unknown. I’ve seen Curriculum Vitae, but also Chairman’s Vat and I believe some other abbreviation. Springbank is Springbank’s main brand with … Continue reading
Hazelburn CV, 46%
Ah, Hazelburn. The third brand to come from the stills of Springbank. Triple distilled, unpeated so kind of different in every aspect apart from that it comes from the same stills. I got a 20cl bottle of this in a … Continue reading

The whisky festival in Alkmaar, hosted by Wullie MacMorland of The Hielander Scottish Restaurant is usually the first official whisky event of the year. This year it is no different. Funnily enough I go there every year with different people. … Continue reading
