Thanks for reviewing Kevin. Have tried this expression a while ago. Great stuff if you like sherried whisky. For the record, Ian MacLoud also own Laggan Bay distillery on Islay. They've started with beer brewing this year and are planning to start distilling soon. Slàinte mhath

Nicely done Kevin, I fully agree. When it comes to sherried 15 year olds the Old Pulteney 15 has been hitting for me recently. It has that orange note as well.

Seems like they are carefully crafting their full sherry cask maturation whisky and using just the right type of casks to not overwhelm the spirit. I can see where this may have a hard time grabbing attention with some of the sherry cask finished flavor bombs out there (like Tomatin). Shame they don't price it at a more reasonable point where more might try it when they are looking for this type of whisky. Cheers!

Thanks for the review, Kevin. Regarding the orange and apricot notes, you get. Maybe there was some Amontillado casks involved in the batch? Amontillado can indeed have orange (peel) and apricot among its flavour notes. It's not the darkest sherried whisky, we have seen, so it would make sense if Amontillado casks have been involved to some degree as opposed to purely Oloroso and/or PX casks. I'm glad, I bought my bottle a few years ago before the prices took of, I totally agree that it's too expensive today, and I won't replace it, when my bottle is empty. Cheers! 🥃

Nice review. This one is still avilable here in Sweden. Just ordered one for the quite fair price of sek859 (£62) in todays currency. Really looking forward to crack it open with some friends. Cheers

Cheers Kevin, thanks for the review. Must get one of these. Been on my list for a while. Slainte.

Just to avoid viewer confusion....not all peated Islay whiskies use Islay peat, most do but not all. And some non-Islay peated whiskies do use Islay peat, eg Ledaig.

This was the best whisky I tasted at last year's Glasgow Whisky Festival. Beautiful stuff and extremely well put together.

Thanks for reviewing Kevin. Have tried several previous Cù Bòcan expressions. Decent stuff for those who enjoy sherried whiskies. Slàinte mhath

Surprised and encouraged to see you back filming buddy. What a great whisky to review on your return. Very cool story how they only produce during a certain period every year (almost like a Campbeltown distillery I have heard of?). Do you see them growing this production based on how it has been received/selling? At that PPM level and being Highland, it sounds like it would be in my zone. Cheers!

Cu Bocan 15 was always the best thing coming out of Tomatin to my mind

Hi Kevin hope your feeling better. Another great review I’ll have to put it on my Christmas list

Hi Kevin. Have heard this is a beauty. I see they have recently also released a 12 year Rum cask finish as well. Would love to see a 12 year release from just the bourbon casks it started in. Cheers

Think your mic level needs to go up buddy.

Just ordered one today 10th November 2024, not many left !

Just picked up a bottle on spec. Watchedand enjoyed you review thank you. Looking forward to opening the Bottle tonight.

After trying all the other standard Springbank expressions up to the 18 year old, the 10 remains my favorite - it just seems to have the best balance of flavor characteristics. As a result Springbank 10 found a place in my liquor cabinet for nearly a decade. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any for sale anywhere for almost 3 years now. I've moved on.

Great review Kevin, thanks

Another good review. Just finished a bottle of this and agree with everything you say. Light on the peat, maybe not for peat heads but a good dram never the less. And the bottle is a cracking design. Cheers.

Thanks for reviewing Kevin. Have notvtried this Cu-Bocan. Have tried other expressions. Decent stuff. Slàinte mhath

Enjoyed hearing about this lighter peated offering Kev. At 20 ppm it sounds like it would be in my zone and those tasting notes are certainly ones I find to my liking. Thanks for introducing me to this peated version of Tomatin 🙏

Thanks for the review Kevin! Great job 👏🏼 Just saw this in the states at $105.00 after listening and watching sounds like i better get back to the store 😂

2024 version just showed up in Chicagoland! Can't wait to crack it opo it open

Thanks for the review and it was good to see you in the Bon too. Slainte.

Thanks for the review. I liked the turntable previous releases that I tried. Hard to find here in Europe but glad to hear you enjoy this one.

Great review Kevin! I’ve been debating picking this one up. I have the Kilmory which is decent but definitely a bit young.

Thanks for reviewing, Kevin. Interesting whisky albeit too sherried for me. Slàinte mhath

Thanks so much Kevin! Terrific review/thoughts! I will absolutely pick this scotch expression up after seeing your awesome video!! Amazing to watch!! Cheers!! 🙂

This one sounds very interesting. Thanks Kevin

Nice. Meikle Tòir when ? :D

This one is real bomb of cinnamon for me.

Thanks for reviewing Kevin. Have not tried this one. (and not a big chance I will as it is sherry matured, so leaving it for others to enjoy). Was great indeed to see you again in Bon Accord. Slàinte mhath

So surprising how they can tame down these younger, higher ABV releases like this. Interesting to hear about this one Kev and thanks again for that very thoughtful video 🥰

Nice review Kevin me and Graeme visited Lochlea last fall with Peter and Denise, Darren was promoted I think 🤔

Sounds great Kevin what’s the price?

Nice wee review Kevin. Was good to see you briefly last Saturday. I hope the video for Drew turned out well.

Decent juice, but I know I’m a stuck record, but the old vintage packaging was the business, still got two in the stash, and they look great

Thanks, sounds like a nice easy sipping whisky.

What a wonderful coincidence! Great minds think alike, as they say. I have just this minute uploaded a whisky review of the Balblair 12 on my blog. I like your tasting notes on this. We are very much in agreement. Google Reb Mordechai Reviews. See there where I research into the term "Double Fired" and give my opinion on the departure of Vintage statements and the new branding.

Just purchased a bottle for a great price. Heartily looking forward to it

Hype is always stupid, in this case it has turned a good whisky into a relic, but hype is created by good old alcoholics who know how to talk well. In reality spending more than 40 euros for this bottle is for impressionable puppets. Poor world.

A good review a interesting blend

Sounds like another winner thanks Kevin

Thanks for reviewing Kevin. Have yet to try (and before that find) a Turntable expression.... but will leave any where wine casks are involved for others to enjoy. That being said, I hear good things about Turntable. Slàinte mhath

Luckily Springbank has got more readily available recently compared to what it was few years back. I think the hype diminished a little bit.

The price had doubled in the past 5 years or so by me. Not worth it at $100 (US).

Just to say thank you Kevin. My new find is Thompson Brothers Campervan, a blended malt. It is interesting.
