More Springbank 'Cage' Bottles

I've reviewed some Cage bottles before here, this time I'm back with a pair of Springbank, a Hazelburn and a pair of Longrows thanks to the ever generous Callum & Kate!

Let's see what they are like!

Campbeltown Loch

Most will know the famous Andy Stewart song from the 60's Campbeltown Loch, some will know of J&A Mitchell's releases under this name.

This time we're trying this year's release a blend of whiskies from all 3 current Campbeltown distilleries, featuring the three Springbank malts, Glengyle and Glen Scotia.

Side by side : A trio of Hazelburn

Not quite the runt of the litter but you don't see much love for Hazelburn on social media. Springbank and Longrow seem to take all the attention.

I was able to buy an old bottle and here compare it against two more recent ones.

BlindTastingOnTour : Springbank

    

Tuesday morning arrived all to quickly and brought a few sore heads, memories of an empty Cage and the damp weather didn't improve the situation.

Two little whisky bar recommendations!

This year my family and I made a Road Trip around the South West USA, we had a brilliant time driving along parts of Route 66, Route 89 and visiting many National Parks including the Grand Canyon.

Distillery Visit - Springbank

I visited the Springbank distillery in April '18, around 12 years since my previous visit - not much had changed!

Springbank is in Campbeltown at the bottom of the Kintyre Peninsula, about 3 hours drive from Glasgow.
