Yes, you do need to try some Springbank, amigo.  There is a very special "craft character" to this fine whisky. You can read all about the distillery, their philosophy and their various expressions here. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, Springbank is one of the very few remaining distilleries left in Scotland that performs every single step in the whisky production process themselves (i.e., from malting their own barley right down to bottling the resultant whisky). This is full-flavored, traditional Scotch whisky that is never chill-filtered or contaminated by artificial additives or coloring agents. FWIW, I find Highland/Speyside whiskies to be very light and mild in comparison to any Campbeltown or Islay malt. I like rich and flavorful Scotch whisky, hence my preference for Islay and Campbeltown malts. I typically like my dram neat, but will add a drop or two of room temperature spring water to a cask strength whisky. Additionally, I never add any ice or "sodie pop" to any whisky (that's sacrilege and should never happen, IMHO). As 280nosler referenced earlier, Springbank's Longrow expressions are heavily peated and very closely resemble Islay malts on the nose and the palate. Standard Springbank expressions aren't as heavily peated, but that hint of peaty flavor is subtle and present in the background. Hazelburn expressions are not peated. In sum, try as many as you like and see what strikes your fancy. You'll enjoy the journey.  -BK "If it's all the same to you, I'd really prefer to visit the range." | |||

Homemade hot buttered rum. Good. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Had a few fingers of Glen Morangie Quinta Ruban earlier, that's some really good stuff. Having a NCBC Churchville Lager right now and will probably switch to The Macallan 12 in a little while. | |||

Every year I get this out for a snort or two. It's not bad, but my long departed Dad gave it to me for Christmas 12-15 years ago. Sentimental. I'll move onto the Laphroig 18 in an hour  | |||

I had some Jameson 12 year tonight. Very good stuff. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||
