Loving this series Ralfy. Thanks very much for all the effort you put in.Hopefully see you again at the GWF and this time your presence will be required in the Bon Accord afterwards!!
very interesting 1:56 ralfy, the master distiller can not only play with the taste, but also with the coloring of the spirit. of course if you do it like that and make it to hot or heat for to long, you will get the bitter burning notes, so springbank uses steam also.
They also used ex-sherry barrels since sherry was exported by the cask back then. Since there was so little use for the empty barrels, whisky producers began grabbing them for transporting whisky to market and then they discovered how the whisky improved in those barrels. In fact it's been speculated that the switch to ex-bourbon casks might be why whisky is colored with caramel. Whisky was much darker back then due to the sherry cask maturation.
Hey Ralfy, if scotch makers gererally use American oak barrels, previously used for bourbon making, what did they use prior to that and do any distilleries use an older method?
hey ralfy ! i am new to springbank and would like to try one ! should i begin with the CV or the 10 year old one or what do u recommend me ? cheers and thanks in advance ! great inside of the distilleriy ! thanks for the effort robi
Very interesting vlogs Ralfy! I think this is one of your most intersting vlogs. Very nice to see what happens before you pour a glass of Springbank! By the way: Did you ever think about bringing to the market your own independent label of whisky. Something like Ralfy''s choice. Single cask, no caramel from small independent artisan distilleries? You are becomming quite an authority on whisky and i guess people are willing to pay for a whisky you selected. At least I do! Cheers E. Meijer

Invaluable insight.
