... a retailer-bottling which is a good example of a type of whisky bottling worth looking out for. ... they can be excellent and not too expensive.

  • Hey!

    I've tested Springbank 15 yo, and one of the best single malt whiskey's I've ever tasted. Especially with some water. I haven't found any review from you on it, have I overlooked it? and btw; I bought a dun bhegaen 26 yo. Exclusive in taste and extra long finish for it price. any opinion about it?

  • @larsiemannen

    the Spring 15 is still to be reviewed.

  • Just out of curiousity, have you found the other bottle yet?

    Cheers

  • @SingleServingJohn

    no, not yet !

  • Hey Ralfy, love the reviews. Question for you, but sorry it's a little off topic... When the whisky producers lower the alcohol level from cask to bottling strength, I would assume they do this by cutting it with water. Would this be a huge source of flavor for the whisky? Is it something they think over very carefully?

  • @bkmclean1

    ... and the filtered bottling plant water does not add flavour to whisky, but simply weakens/alters it slightly.

    A simple process so not much careful thought other than to be specific in volume and keep it pure water.

  • I really appreciate that comment about treating people that work in alcohol stores with some respect. I worked a second job at a major US alcohol retailer for a while and I didn't get paid shit compared to my regular job, but I enjoyed what I did and I liked sharing my information on bourbon with customers that cared to know. I also shared a lot about scotch that I learned from you

  • gets even better with the stereo lights. do you edit your films? and... did you try the claret from springbank? fraser.

  • I'm trying to pin down your political views and I've gotta say, you're not an easy mark. :) But, I will say this as well, I know I'd have fun arguing politics with you.

  • Bought myself the"claret wood" version which I think is great.

    Are you gonna review the different wood expressions( port/rum etc.)
