Lindores Abbey Distillery: New, Yet Lots Of History
Join me during my day ‘working’ alongside the great crew of people at Lindores Abbey Distillery. I made my first-ever spirit cut, and also had some of the most delicious ever millionaire’s shortbread.
Springbank 2011 8 Years Old (Open Day 2019)
A review of the heavily sherried (over the top?) Springbank 2011 8yo for this year’s Open Day — as well as a few thoughts on Springbank prices.
Scallywag 12 Years Old Cask Strength (2019)
The nose isn’t as expressive, and the palate isn’t extremely balanced either, nevertheless a pleasing whisky.
Glen Scotia 1832 Campbeltown (2019)
There’s a lot of no age statement, flavour-led, marketing driven liquid floating around. This Glen Scotia is part of that somewhat uninspiring category.
Powers 12 Years Old (2019)
Excellent and moreish Irish single pot still whisky from Powers. Classic example of the style, and really interesting for anyone, whether your new to whisky or consider yourself a connoisseur.
Springbank 1992 26 Years Old (Whisky Kingdom & Duckhammer’s)
A pleasant surprise landed at my home a little while ago: a 26-year old independently bottled Springbank from a bourbon barrel.
