Another lovely bottling from this series, with ingenious are work. If you look closer you might recognize a couple of the most colourful whisky Dou namely, Neil and Joel from Caskstrength.Net . A lovely couple , I’ve met on a couple of occasions on which we had a jolly good time, so guys, well done on making this label. fab.

I’m always up to trying new expressions from Springbank, those are rarely below the very good mark. They have been toying with quite some wood finishes over there : Barolo, Shiraz, Marsala, and more, but Calvados is a finish I’ve almost never tried, not in SB’s and not elsewhere, and it was really interesting to see what this one might …

A week ago I got a letter from Ben of Master of Malt (the brain behind many great whisky things that are going on at MoM) asking me for my help in tasting two different springbank samples. They are looking to bottle a single cask, and they got some nice samples from 2 such casks they wanted to share and …

This dram and those notes are all in honor of a fellow whisky blogger and mensch who recently stopped blogging about this favorite drop of liquor : whisky. I guess those of you who are / were a part of his whisky fabric, know who I am talking about. Whisky connected people all over the globe and I am lucky …

Always interesting to taste Springbanks, especially cask strength and single sherry casks ones. This was bottled for Potstill Austria  from cask #296 yielding 216 bottles at 57.1 % ABV.
Springbank 1997 single cask #296  for Potstill Austria,  57.1 % ABV , 216 btl
Nose:  A very nice mixture of both sweet sherry notes, and salty briny seaweed sort of notes you can …

It’s always nice meeting a good whisky friend, especially Jorn who’s a real whisky lover and a good friend. Last time he visited Israel, we could not meet due to schedule issues, but this time we arranged to meet and share some beer and drams. We set to meet at one of Israel’s best pubs (in my opinion) and Israel’s …

Continuing the streak of excellent whiskies in recent days, with this little stunner. About two months ago I visited my whisky friend Yariv who lives in Haifa. He’s a big Springbank and Laddie fan, and we did have quite a few drams of those. It was the first time I had the pleasure of trying this 100 proof Springbank. It’s …

It’s not everyday that Springbank releases a new expression and this one has also a unique
name , unlike most other springers who have only a vintage or a year indication. As it seems Rundlets and Kilderkins are two different measuring units for liquids , which were used in olden days. The Springbank site also tells the tale of a lady …

I’ve posted notes of a Port Charlotte bottled by my Danish friend Jorn, a few months ago, and that was a total cracker. Jorn is a great person, a true whisky and golf lover, and apparently has a great sense of choosing good casks. Now it’s time to enjoy his prior bottling a 10 year old Springbank he bottled last …

As we posted at the beginning of June, WI Society were to have our first open to the public gathering, with a Springbank tasting and a special guest. Well, as posted and promised, we did!
On June 13, at HaBerez (The Tap) Mini-Bar at Tel Aviv, we’ve gathered together WI Society members and friends to enjoy what was a great whisky …
