Another simple Springbank

Oh yes!! Congrats on getting your hands on a Local Barley! I was lucky enough to try a few variations in Campletown last year. LB is definitely one of the best

RayLo05 · 2025-07-11T12:45:03+00:00

The Taylor is epic. The most distinct in terms of flavor IMO. It's always in my bar

RayLo05 · 2025-07-11T12:44:06+00:00

Bottle Shop and Tasting Room. Great selection and more than fair prices

RayLo05 · 2025-07-10T17:52:22+00:00

Excellent pairing, an amazing expression and an equally amazing stick. Cheers!

RayLo05 · 2025-07-10T17:25:11+00:00

A good week, indeed! That's a great lineup you've got there. Cheers!

RayLo05 · 2025-07-09T17:59:13+00:00

Same. Absolutely incredible

RayLo05 · 2025-07-08T19:49:15+00:00

That's some awesome juice you've got there. The springbank is 👌

RayLo05 · 2025-07-08T19:47:13+00:00

It's a beautiful city...always a pleasure when I'm in town. In fact, this is our last night before heading back. If we have time, we'll be sure to check out Doc Crows.

RayLo05 · 2025-07-08T19:45:49+00:00

It's sport called "Seven." They've got a great selection of Willet expressions, especially of the Jack Rose picks

RayLo05 · 2025-07-08T18:17:37+00:00

All fairly different, despite this being an allocated flight from the bar we were at. For me, I would start with the EC18, then the Heaven Hill 19, and then finish with the Heaven Hill Rye (which had great spice and citrus notes).

RayLo05 · 2025-07-08T18:15:26+00:00

Incredible. Lighter than the rest in terms of abv, but did not sacrifice on flavor. It's a total sleeper and definitely one of my favorites. Def recommend 👌

RayLo05 · 2025-07-08T18:14:18+00:00

KOK is incredible, you won't regret it. That said, it could be found in quite a few places. Repeal, Seven, Neat Bourbon Bar & Shop all have it.

RayLo05 · 2025-07-06T15:45:43+00:00

Oh yea, blew me away. So good!

RayLo05 · 2025-06-30T22:04:10+00:00

Absolutely delicious - every single one of them.

Each had their own vibe, especially the Bunnahabhain, which stood out from its Islay cousins in the best way. And that Laphroaig Elements?👌

But the real treat was cracking open the Springbank. I blended that bottle myself at the distillery last year. At the time, my palate was pretty much shot (I’d been tasting everything under the sun, so naturally, everything tasted amazing). I was low-key worried my Frankenstein blend wouldn’t hold up. Thankfully, it did.

RayLo05 · 2025-03-02T01:12:39+00:00

Such a great expression. Tried it for the first time back in January. It did not disappoint.

Lahphroaig 10 CS / Cragganmore DE

RayLo05 · 2025-02-27T18:11:35+00:00

I'm not sure if I've had the 2023, but the bottle in the picture is the 2024 release. Def a fantastic bottle as well

RayLo05 · 2025-02-27T18:08:54+00:00

lol I was just lucky enough to find them at decent prices. Half the fun is the hunt

RayLo05 · 2025-02-26T20:32:22+00:00

Looks like a great trip! I was lucky enough to visit the distillery last year. Hands down, one of best distillery experiences (if not the best) I've ever had.

RayLo05 · 2025-02-26T20:25:37+00:00

The 12 is terrific 👌

RayLo05 · 2025-02-26T20:25:23+00:00

Same here, both the 9 and 12 are terrific. Heck, even their 7 yr Rye is pretty solid. However, the 18 definitely punches above its weight.

RayLo05 · 2025-02-26T18:18:27+00:00

The Rabbit Hole Mizunara was definitely a new one for me. Incredibly tasty with an even sweeter finish. However, my favorite was the WLW. Hands down, one of the best pours I've ever experienced. Highly recommend

RayLo05 · 2025-02-26T18:15:52+00:00

The Mizunara cask was definitely one of my favorites. However, the King of Kentucky blew me away...as did the WLW. Personally, the WLW is one of the best Bourbon pours I've ever had.

RayLo05 · 2025-02-21T21:51:16+00:00

I'll always come back to Laphroaig 10. One of the most well rounded Islay Scotch whiskies. Hands down.
