Жыл бұрынSpringbank Local Barley and Hazelburn Sherry Cask Campbeltown Scotch Whisky Review
Today we are comparing two different Hazelburns and two different Springbank Local Barley releases! We're trying a 12 Year Old Hazelburn bottled in 2023 and a 15 Year Old bottled in 2022, both in oloroso sherry. Then we are comparing the 2022 bottling of Springbank Local Barley with the 2023 bottling.
Thank you so much to our fellow whisky geek for letting us try these hard to get hold of samples! We really appreciate being able to try them side by side for a really good comparison!

Rachel is my hero! Her honesty with respects to springbank is a refreshingly honest departure from all the hero worship they receive.
@iangrant5527 Жыл бұрын
Hi Trevor, as Rachel's dad I also think she is a hero - but with regard to the Springbank I've never got the fuss over it. Sure, it's a nice dram but doesn't leap out to my taste buds as exceptionsal. I don't think I've shared that with the bold Rach yet she clearly is of the same view - maybe something to do with genetics of the taste buds. Good research project for a student!

Not sure what's heroic about showing disrespect to both the whisky and the person sending them samples. It's childish behavior allover. I feel almost sorry for Jen.

Ah back to your best, I do slightly get the springbank jobbie thing, to me it's just a mildly unpleasant thing that won't go away, when springbank was available (back in the day) I was trying to like it but just couldn't, now I don't have that problem, down here in NZ I don't think any springbank makes these shores anymore.🙃

"oh, Jen..." 😂 sometimes just the suggestion of a novel taste/smell combination can put it off. We may have managed to get the same Hazelburn 15 oloroso, but I'm worried about giving it another go until I can put these tasting notes out of mind. I once smelled separate distinct fruit and salty on a PX finished whisky before but had to step away from it for a few months when the wife suggested blue cheese. We also have a grain-forward American whiskey with some barrel char and unique red fruit characteristics that she can combine into "day old cigarettes put out in red wine". I don't think I've seen CC skip so much of your dialogue in a good while. Good to keep it on its toes.

Love this review ladies, gas and salt and vinegar discos 😆, I have only just tried Hazelburn 12 for the first time and I really enjoyed it, when it comes to Campbeltown, I do really enjoy the Kilkerran sherry and port casks, I need to persevere with Glen Scotia, as the first time I tried their whisky, it smelt like baby sick and really put me off, I don't know if that is Campbeltown funk, but I certainly don't get that smell with Kilkerran.

Sounds like the 15 YO was done right after a batch of Longrow or regular SB was done...and maybe they didnt cleaned the ovens and grills enough...especially if you are getting smoke on an unpeated whisky....sounds like a slight contamination issue...."GAS!"....it doesnt sound like it smeshes frell!

Rachel: "Slante!" Jen: "Denied!" * * BTW, I don't buy the panic excuse one bit; seemed a bit passive-aggressive. In fact, when Jen said the whisky tasted angry but not telling you, was it really the whisky...or was it Jen's inner-state projected onto the whisky? (puts down the pipe) OK, our hour is up. Will you be coming next week so we can discuss your feelings of abandonment?

-1 subscription. Sorry ladies, but as much as I have enjoyed your channel, pouring lemonade into a Springbank Local Barley is sacrilege, especially if it is a sample courtesy by someone else. Most viewers won't be able to taste this malt, let alone afford (or get) a bottle. You may dislike and criticize it, that's absolutely fine, but what I witnessed Rachel doing is the opposite of whisky snob, that's whisky kindergarden.
