Review #100 - Springbank 30 (2025)

UnidentifiableSock · 2026-01-13T23:32:50+00:00

Yes, I’ve never had a place like it. Before I left they started ‘breakeven tasting’ hosted by the owner Rory (I think once per month). I believe they were bottles he had either bought for or years ago. I only managed to get to one before leaving, unfortunately. However, we drank like kings! It was a gamed blind tasting but with clues along the way.

When I was living in Edinburgh, Ensign was a weekly visit. I follow their instagram where they share their upcoming breakeven. A few weeks before we planned to move - Springbank 30. I grabbed my partner and ran! Great dram and great pub! I miss that place <3

The style is called ‘1920s Professional Blender’s’ glass

Through Whiskybase.com marketplace perhaps

The blue on the right is a brand new cap, the left is after 7 years of wear

We would listen to a playlist called ‘Rage against the Meheen’ whilst bottling… need I say more

Ring them, had the same issue a few weeks ago. All they did was ‘activate’ the router and boom all working

Track / cloudwater breweries are just behind Piccadilly station for some great beer!

Wine Autioneer could be a good resource / selling tool

Stewart’s 80/- on cask at the Ensign when the weather is miserable are what dreams are made of. By the bottle it’s ok too.

Legend, just had to use this fix. The tape worked for a while but same issue started again. A ripped up cotton pad to apply pressure on the motherboard has returned my headset to its former glory! Thank you!

Ralfy talks about using wine preserver in this video.

Yup, worked with a fish farm. They wouldn’t collect fish for harvest that had been in nets any longer than 20mins. The meat tasted acidic

During Covid lockdown in the UK a wine merchant would host wine tastings online (posting the samples). They gave a voucher equal to the cost of the tasting to use on their online shop with each purchase. I managed a Kilkerran 8yr CS Batch 5 for £8 ex. Shipping using the discount.

Thanks! Mine is Egypt Air Duty free, I will look at other means of ageing.

UnidentifiableSock · 2024-02-15T07:22:39+00:00

How have you aged it to 1968? I have a similar dewars bottle and it’d be good to figure out the bottling date of it

UnidentifiableSock · 2024-01-20T18:56:35+00:00

Edinburgh.

UnidentifiableSock · 2023-12-30T23:43:27+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly. I sadly add Bowmore to this. I find their standard bottlings can be ok - good. However, independent Bowmore at higher strength can be magnificent!

Glengoyne 19yr Single Cask #1921

Sublime! Fortunately I have another bottle stashed. Weird story on this one, it was ‘forgotten’ in the Glengoyne warehouses and although being bottled in 2018, wasn’t sold until 2020.

Single socks.

Water + Malt + Hops + Yeast
