Two other Archives: Glentauchers and Glen Keith

Posted on 1 August 2017 by

GlenDronach 1995-2015, 19yo, 54.2% – OB for Whiskybase

Posted on 3 May 2016 by

Posted on 7 April 2016 by

The last of the three Springbanks released by Whiskybase / Archives about two weeks ago is the only sherry cask of the bunch. The cask filling date and the bottling date are slightly different but comparable enough. An interesting fact … Continue reading →

Springbank 1996-2016, 19yo, cask 550, 56.4% – Archives

Posted on 6 April 2016 by

This just occurred to me: If I just repost the entire post from yesterday, only a very limited amount of people would notice, and I’d get away with it. Sort of. This ‘second’ cask, to me at least, logically it … Continue reading →
