As I was groovin to Black Sabbaths "The warning" and on my 3rd taste of Laphroiag select, I've come to the realization that I'm old. Dirt old. You 2 are hilarious. Thanks for the tips.
I have tried and loved the 10 year offering and finally stepped up to grab a bottle of this. Usually out of my price range it was very nice to feel I got my full $'s worth with how nice this is.
Springbank rules! it's probably the most traditional artisan destillery in Scotland and it's flavour profile compares to nothing. SB is pretty much the essence of what scotch whisky is about
something i came across about decanting your whisky that i found really cool ... basically it was to hide the brand name as in to not make someone think about the price but to enjoy the whisky itself ... anyhow , cheers !!!
I tasted this the other day and it was indeed the first time I had a Campbeltown (maybe my first lowland at all). I can testify that I thought it was trying to kill me. I describe it like licking the bottom of a boat that has been moored too long and is growing mould, and trying to disinfect my mouth with iodine. But as you always say, the best whiskey is the one you enjoy, and on that same day I had my first Redbreast 12, which takes a spot on my top 5. All respect to Springbank distillery and those that enjoy it.
I really enjoy you're reviews guys. I was going to buy a Springbank 10 today from the whisky shop but everybody who works in the store didn't like it so I went with the Longrow instead. Not sure if you guys have tried it. I'm really looking forward to trying it. I've been wanting to try something different to the sherried speysides I've been drinking lately.
This is an idea that my father in law and I had where we will have a nice whisky whiskey to start the night and then we want a budget whiskey to sip on after.
Springbank is one of my favorite distilleries, but it's definitely not for everyone. Super brine, slight bandaid and rubber, but behind that a wonderfully plummy and fruit note finish. I'll add it to the list!
I recently discovered your channel , and I have to say its very interesting and very comprehensive for understanding the virtues of whisky. I'm very new to scotch I've have come from the world of bourbon. i 've tried only a few scotches the balvenie 12 and the ardbeg 10. Do you have any recommendation of scotches that I should try? in addition I've heard that some of the independent distilleries tend to put out better products. would you agree with that? Keep us the great work you guys are doing instilling knowledge and understanding for others.
I forgot to add that Monkey Shoulder was the second scotch I ever bought the first the Dewars it was so awful. I tend to stay away from a lot of blends like Johnny Walker Chivas Regal and Dewars. However I've heard a lot of good things about Compass box though. I watched your Highland Park 12 video I think that might be the next bottle I purchase because it has a little of everything. I added the bourbonblog I'm still of fan of and Tom Is a very funny and informative guy. I loved the bourbon vs scotch video! :-)
Johnnie Walker Black Label is just fine as an introduction to whisky. There's a good portion of Caol Ila in there. Also something I haven't seen any of on Ye Olde Whisky Vault is Old Pulteney 12 yo. That is a fine whisky at a reasonable price.
I'm not sure if you already heard this but you guys appear to have a very special close relationship. Can you tell us how you met and how long you have known each other.....and why????
Douchy nitpicky correction: There's no Kilkerran distillery. Kilkerran is the name of the whisky made by the Glengyle distillery. I think you even touched upon this in your (ooooold) video on Kilkerran.
I heard that crystal decanters leach lead into the liquid. Is that true and is it a concern? Love watching you guys. Watching your videos and learning to enjoy whisky has added a lot of fun that I am sharing with my wife and friends. --Bill
That's true if the crystal minerals are lead based, which is typical. Better to use glass or make sure that the minerals used to strengthen the crystal aren't lead.
Someone go back in time and tell Rex to cheer up. He's too close to the situation to realize (or he's just playing a different angle)... so Rex gives us the less experienced newer guys' take on the whisky which augments Daniels comments, or we could say Rex grounds Daniel in reality since most of us are not Pros. I've saved the best for last. Rex brings humor to the show. He has some good comedic timing, like a stand-up comic. He could probably pull off a beginner stand-up comic show (think Seinfeld when he was getting his start). Maybe Rex just needed to think creatively off camera, come up with some various new material... that's all. Raising a young family with new kids added... that can wear you out, man. Good luck. Cheers.
You're in the sweet spot now. Springbank is the "Ultimate" distillery. Family owned and doing it all. All quality all the time.
I agree completely. I own everything I can get from them.
@@WhiskeyVault have you tried the 25 or any single casks? if so, thoughts?
Wondering the same? You have the 25? The 21 and 18?
lol he's married to a woman named Brandy but he's drinking whisky.

You 2 are hilarious. Thanks for the tips.
Welcome to the club, sir.
daniel , you were so right on about the peated single malts.. my favorite road to travel.
Got my first bottle of springbank 15 and Iove it. Definitely one of my favorites for special occasions
I have tried and loved the 10 year offering and finally stepped up to grab a bottle of this. Usually out of my price range it was very nice to feel I got my full $'s worth with how nice this is.
This shit is amazing. You guys are on point with the smells and flavors. Spring is original and one of my favorites. Thanks for the video.
They look so matured at this time... how adorable

hey mates I got this whisky as a present: Campbeltown Loch 21 springbank. what category would you put it in or what could you tell me about it?
Are applications still being accepted for mooch positions? I'll mooch hard and accept payment in whiskey.
My decanters have a rubber ring that seems to seal pretty well, not just the ground glass, do you think they would preserve the whiskey longer?
absolutely
I volunteer as mooch. I will move from Shreveport to Austin if that's a position I can get.
I really enjoy you're reviews guys. I was going to buy a Springbank 10 today from the whisky shop but everybody who works in the store didn't like it so I went with the Longrow instead.

Yes! I'm a huge fan of Springbank and Longrow. Basically everything they make.
Springbank 10 is much better
I was wondering you mentioned that the Springbank is 2 and a half times distilled. What does that mean? or How does it work?
It's two different distillation runs combined. One run of 3 and one run of 2.
The wobbly camera for the first 2 minutes is either great or awful and I can't make my mind up.
I wish I would watched this before buying the Springbank! Going to blend it down Daniel as you suggested. Hopefully I can bring it around....
It is hilarious that his wife is named brandy! Even in marriage he is, metaphorically, mootching booze! :P
Are you guys going to review Springbank 10 at some point? Would love to hear your views on it.
Springbank 10 is an absolute steal. Ralfy gives it 91 out of 100 but I put it higher.
What's the price?
Q: What did daddy spider say to baby spider? A: You spend too much time on the web.
This is an idea that my father in law and I had where we will have a nice whisky whiskey to start the night and then we want a budget whiskey to sip on after.
Springbank malt is peated for 4 hours. I would love to see a review of the Springbank 10 from you guys.
I should elaborate... Springbank is not a beginner whisky, but it's extremely complex. It's also one of the, if not the oldest distillery in Scotland.
It reminds me of the Yamazaki 12
Springbank is one of my favorite distilleries, but it's definitely not for everyone. Super brine, slight bandaid and rubber, but behind that a wonderfully plummy and fruit note finish. I'll add it to the list!
I'll review it for you. A plus!
Great whisky
Daniel, you mentioned you keep 3 different decanters of budget whiskey. What are some of your go to budget whiskey's?
Black Bottle for scotch, henry mcKenna 10 for bourbon, tullamore or jameson for irish
Whiskey Vault, thank you sir!

Yes! There are some really good blends out there, though! Black Bottle is a really great one.
Ryan Summers .... I'm in the same boat. Laphroiag👀

There must be a roll of duct tape somewhere in the tower, get that Subscribe sign leveled!
Rex thinks it's hilarious that it's always off kilter. He won't listen to reason.
I'm not sure if you already heard this but you guys appear to have a very special close relationship. Can you tell us how you met and how long you have known each other.....and why????
What is the main difference between Springbank 12 and this Springbank 15?
If you are not sure pussy you should buy the 10 or 12.
Douchy nitpicky correction: There's no Kilkerran distillery. Kilkerran is the name of the whisky made by the Glengyle distillery. I think you even touched upon this in your (ooooold) video on Kilkerran.
I didn't even realise Rex was married and had children. Tell us the stats of his family!.....cheers!
Oh, the irony of being a Whisky Mooch and having a wife named Brandy...
Kumquats!
Was that camel toe whiskey you mentioned? That would explain the wet bandaid smell
I heard that crystal decanters leach lead into the liquid. Is that true and is it a concern? Love watching you guys. Watching your videos and learning to enjoy whisky has added a lot of fun that I am sharing with my wife and friends. --Bill
That's true if the crystal minerals are lead based, which is typical. Better to use glass or make sure that the minerals used to strengthen the crystal aren't lead.
Is it too late to apply for Mooching? LOL
9.20 the only REAL reason, whisky gets to old, are if you drink don't empty the bottle fast en.ough
Kumquat?
Lol i commented earlier before the part where he said kumquat. I couldnt hold it in
One drink of the good stuff to anesthetize the tongue, then switch to the cheaper stuff. Good plan!
brain psychology........... as opposed to the, non-brain psychology kind.......
springbank is the best whiskey hands down. this review is a disgrace to a incomparable scotch

Raising a young family with new kids added... that can wear you out, man. Good luck.

bouncing of the camera making me a little sea sick
