@@thewhiskyfriend Yes Alan and I feel lucky to have been able to get both of these amazing expressions. I was able to buy them both when I was on a trip to Scotland. They are extremely difficult to get in Canada, particularly the Longrow. Both were special and I learned a lot from watching your comparison of these whiskies! Much appreciated! Superb video! Cheers! 🙂
Brilliant H2H battle Alan. Both fantastic Drams. I can just dream about. I wish to buy these at retail prices or win ballot but it never happend. If i must choose one Longrow is closer to my heart. Not big SB fan. 👍😁🥂🙋🏻♂️
Interesting battle Alan. Thanks for sharing. Have the Springbank myself and love it. The Longrows I've tried... less (than the Springbank), despite being a peat lover ...duh😅 Slàinte mhath
I have picked these up here in the uk over the last 2 -3 years. Price wise i paid £110 for the sb and £100 for the longrow...its the usual springbank story, if you want these bad enough you can pick them up certainly in the uk....glad you enjoyed the video my friend....
Well, I haven't seen anything from Springbank in Bulgaria since 2020. And even then there were very small quantities of Springbank 10, Hazelburn 10 and Longrow Peated. They were all reasonably priced, but sold out quickly and I could buy just a couple of bottles of Springbank 10. £100-£110 seems very, very nice price for 18 yo Springbank/Longrow BTW.
I always watch UA-cam while translating! I'm not confident in English, so I apologize if it doesn't come across well. I love whiskey but have been searching for wine cask options lately. Any recommendations? I was thinking of buying Glen Garioch 1999, but the price is a bit steep, and I'm hesitant.
Take those springbank goggles off Gav...the longrow took this one for me fella...think the 100% sherry swung it fella...hope to catch up again over the weekend
Wish you luck drinking a Longrow+Springbank 18? I think you've already had a fair dose of that in abundance Alan!😀Wish I could get my hands on them. Never been able to try any Longrow, and the only Spingbank I've ever got hold of is the 10, which is beautiful by the way as you already know.

I gravitate more to peat and dirtier malts but between these two, I prefer the SB. The SB18 has always been a great dram.
Cheers,
Mike
It could have gone either way tbf Mike....hope your well and great to see Keith....
So lucky to have these two incredible malts on your stack !!
Yes im very lucky to live where i do and im able to pick these up....cheers my friend
Two of the best dear Alan. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Kindest regards, S.
The Longrow 2022 is outstanding! Have the Springbank 18 from 2020 and 2021, unfortunately haven't tried the 2022 version.
Love them both!
Outstanding comparison of amazing scotch whiskies! Fabulous! Hugely appreciated! 🙂
Thank you Christine...you tried them?

I have that very same LR18 but it took me so long to find I'm saving it for a rainy day. It sounds right up my alley. :)
Great find, im sure you will love it my friend

Love Them, but Longrow 18 i the winner in my mind.
On many a different day it could be mine...cheers buddy
Now that's a battle!!
That surprised me - I was thinking you would be 91 SP and 89 LR! The spicy side at the end took over your heart huh!?
Think the sherry in that longrow just got the better of me....both great though....
DDD...Dirty,Dank,Dunnage!😂
There manky fella...lol
Like any of these is readily available and reasonably priced...
Flexing quite a bit, are we, Alan 😉
No offense, sir 😀 Great video!
Cheers!

The Arran amarone finish is very good my friend
No contest SP 18 every time

easy, Longrow by a long shot
Not sure by a long shot....but yes on this occasion cheers fella
Dirty dinky dunnage doesn't sound at all appealing..
I find my longrow 18 to be the most interesting whiskey I have
