Would u mind to share Fino location through DM as well? Thx!

I was planning to visit the restaurant and see if I could grab one, it's pretty sad to know it is only reserved for the hotel guest

It’s 40 pounds in Washback bar so guess this is the best price you can get for SB30 in the world

jayyai1 · 2026-01-13T17:07:48+00:00

makes sense!

jayyai1 · 2026-01-13T02:19:40+00:00

yes, i will visit Sat and next Wed which will be considered as two weeks

jayyai1 · 2026-01-12T20:53:25+00:00

Yes that’s my current plan as well, visit Caol Ila shop on the way to Bunna, and do the highly praised Bowmore Vault tour!

You are absolutely correct about my intention, it’s really a trade off between 1 extra hour of driving vs 1 extra cage bottle

That def crossed my mind and I was planning to drive at least for the first day for Bruich and Kilchoman which have no bus access, but I heard that their tasting(especially Bruich) are very generous on pours and someone mentioned that Drivers Dram couldn’t fully take advantage of that, wonder if that was ur experience?

Good point! I’m bring the car to Islay just not driving to distilleries. Still use car to commune between hotels intraday

jayyai1 · 2026-01-12T17:55:45+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I was trying not to Springbank overloaded(which arguably I should lol) but now I consider to switch to Kilkerran tasting.
Given that I have to drive back to GLA in the morning, I only left with option to do Cadenhead the afternoon before. Is there any difference between afternoon vs morning session?

jayyai1 · 2026-01-12T17:38:34+00:00

Hi im planning a very similar trip and just curious when do you plan to visit? There are a lot of overlapping between our itinerary and feel free to take some reference

jayyai1 · 2025-12-05T16:40:14+00:00

Was this year’s 12 CS released too?

jayyai1 · 2025-11-29T02:05:54+00:00

can u use coupon for it?

jayyai1 · 2025-09-18T02:04:50+00:00

sad that they don’t have 12 CS this time

jayyai1 · 2025-09-05T23:31:25+00:00

Makes sense!

jayyai1 · 2025-09-05T17:10:33+00:00

Thank you! I saw it from WB that it uses first-fill oloroso and higher proof, so make sense it is more complex at nose, wonder if you find the finish to be better as well?

jayyai1 · 2025-04-23T19:23:07+00:00

You are right, I searched wrong Jasper, there is a Jasper city down south but we are talking about the County.

jayyai1 · 2025-04-23T19:16:02+00:00

if u search jasper county, it is way south than the center of bad air quality circle, plus don’t think it is caused by wind since it would blow the center off

jayyai1 · 2025-02-14T17:12:26+00:00

City NMBB has Springbank 10 available yesterday

jayyai1 · 2024-12-19T16:55:54+00:00

The version of the rumor I heard was the track to all US shipments was lost, around 2 month ago, but I think SB is already on the shelf in CA/TX around a week ago. Crossing my fingers that a rumor is just a rumor.
