    In March 2024 I went on a tour of the distilleries and whisky retailers of Campbeltown, Scotland.
    Campbeltown is it's own Scotch whisky region, and for good reason - they have some of the most weird and coveted drams in the world.
    Join me on a Scotch whisky expedition through Campbeltown, Scotland, as we uncover rare treasures from Springbank Distillery, Glen Scotia Distillery, and Cadenhead's. Explore the rich heritage of Scottish whisky craftsmanship and discover hidden gems at Whisky West Coast.
    Amidst the search for Scotch whisky rarities, we stumble upon an unexpected delight - a rare mystery bourbon whiskey from Tennessee. This adds a twist to our adventure, showcasing the diversity of whiskey flavors.
    Join me on this authentic whisky odyssey as we celebrate Scotland's finest whiskies. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a curious newcomer, there's something for everyone to enjoy in this exploration of Scotch whisky heritage. Cheers to adventure and unforgettable flavours!

    When the cage options are limited the demijohns (handfills) are exceptional - and because they're effectively infinity bottlings they're super interesting. A cask strength SB - full 70cls had just risen to £60.

      The price on the full bottles is certainly a bargain! Interestingly I've done a side-by-side with the handfill from this video and the Springbank 10 in an upcoming video - very interesting result! Cheers

    My guess will be Tennessee Distillers Co. if it doesn't remind you off JD or Dickel they have been sourced by UK shops before, could be a little over-oaked so good luck with that one. Cheers😉

    Hey amazing hunting and finds! This would be impossible in many places including Vancouver, Canada where I live. I'd love to be near these sources regularly for delicious Single Malt Scotch - which I absolutely adore!! It's a love - in healthy moderation! I love the Glen Scotia 15 and the Victoriana! Peat is my preference!! The Springbank 15 and 18 are amazing!! Delicious! The Campbelltown Loch isn't bad. I love Campbelltown and Islay. Terrific video! Cheers! :-)

      Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Review of the Campbeltown Loch coming soon - though I must say, I agree - certainly not bad - however, it's not a consistent blend. I picked up a sample from a much earlier bottle and put them head-to-head in my video. Wild difference!

    Love it…great video glad you managed tae pick up the 15 yr old yer was after….kinda glad I prefer younger whiskies tried the 15 and few others and the longrow pleated came out top fir me and the living cask…think the living cask because it’s younger whisky with odd 10’s 15’ s and older bottles added…moved tae Loch Fyne last year so quite close tae Springbank and Glen Scotia…picked up the same Glen Scotia bottling as you did the George hotel in Inveraray had a barrel of it same cask and managed tae get a bottle which I’m looking forward to…can tell you it’s nice as tried it in the George got a great selection…might want to have a look in the whisky shop in Inveraray next time passing through have some good stuff picked up a 20cl of Glen Scotia 15 at a good price…and thanks fir the mention in previous review of the whisky shop in Tarbert…picked up a few of those Islay ales smoked stout lovely beer fae there !

      It’s the same here! The distillery shop sell SB15 for £72 which isn’t a crazy increase. But easily £250+ if you were to ever see it on the shelf.

    Cracking video. I would love to go to the Springbank Distillery. I've only ever tried the 10 due to availability, and that's stunning, so would love to try some others. I agree with the Victoriana. Its a gorgeous dram. One of my favourites. You'll love it. Shame its only a miniature, as the bottle opens up superbly after you pass the shoulder.

      I'll make sure to let it breathe properly then! I'm sure I'll acquire a full bottle one day. You wouldn't believe it, but a few days ago I went to a bar in Nottingham with a decent whisky selection, and what's sat on the shelf a Springbank 15! I couldn't help but laugh, typical ey! Decided against paying an obscene amount for a single pour of something I'd got and went for a Redbreast 15 instead - consider that added to the wishlist too! Cheers!

    Right, I'm blaming you and this video for my own recent whisky splurge. I'd been tempted for some time but after watching this, I thought "what the heck". By way of reimbursement, I'll accept cheque or bank transfer.

A couple of spares of things I already have in my stash and the 12 year old version of GlenAllachie moscatel cask to compare to the 11 year old I've got. The one I'm really looking forward to is my first Craigellichie. I can't justify paying for the 17 year old so I went fort eh 13. Butshould be pretty good.

    I had a bottle of the Springbank 15 a couple of years ago. It's very good but very different from the ten and not that much better. Certainly not as good value, considering the price difference.
