  • Ralfy,

    I read that Peter Currie has recently left Springbank! What a shame, he was a such a great brand ambassador! Who will fill his shoes??

  • @77anorak

    well  . . . I did not know that !

  • Ralfy, your videos are brilliant! I'm putting together a tiny distillery down here in Patagonia, Argentina and plan to make a Scotch type whisky utilizing barley and native woods to impart a slight smoke flavor. I've heard of Scotch distilleries using wine barrels from time to time. Do you have any insight as to the characteristics derived from utilizing used barrels other than bourbon, port, or sherry?

  • @stwilegar

    The Whisky Distillers are experimenting with all kinds of casks and wood toasting/charring. This is ongoing research where availability, cost and quality of casks is all important as is the influence on the individual nature of the spirit produced.

    Good luck to you with your Distillery, and I suggest good quality ex-wine casks locally sourced and re-toasted slowly to reduce wine impact and increase wood sweetness and complexity.

  • ... I WILL BE POSTING EACH PART FROM 2 TO 7 ONE DAY AT A TIME TO CREATE A WEEK LONG SERIES ! ...thanks for watching MALT FANS !!!

  • Wow, this is really cool. Thank you so much for doing the legwork on this multi-part look at Springbank. Terrific quality info that will stand the test of time.

  • Thanks for everything Ralfy!!! Always a pleasure..

  • nice one Ralfy!

    We've been here a few years ago and had a wee private tour from the same man.

    Campbeltown is worth a visit. We had a nice and warm weather wen we were there.

    Before that we went to Arran, wich is also very very nice. cheerio, Henk

  • Wonderful stuff gentlemen ! Thanks for this Ralfy fantastic

  • Ralfy I love watching your video tours, thanks for taking time to review the independent distillers. I've just started getting serious about whiskey a year ago and have found your reviews to be indispensable as a learning resource. Will definitely be buying a bottle of Springbank (and Campbeltown Loch if I can find one here in the States) this winter.
