Today, we dive into springbank 12 cs Batch #26. This one comes in at 56.2% 60% bourbon cask, 35% sherry and to mix it up 5% rum. Join us on Patreon @ / topshelfwhisky
@8:45 FYI, from a very reliable and high level contact at my local large chain retailer, the "lost" shipment was specifically a result of the container getting dropped at the port, destroying the contents within.
@topshelfdustin3060 Didn't get that specific, so I can't comment on exactly how and why the container was dropped. It's too bad it wasn't a container of mattresses instead of our precious Cambeltown spirits!
Glad to hear this review. I was able to get one bottle of this batch - still unopened . I love batch 25 - so much that I got 3 of them! At this point in my whisky journey, Springbank 12s are one of the few releases that I continue to collect. Always great to hear your reviews.

We really enjoyed the all bourbon and of course, batch 25 as well. Solid list, my man.
Love that 4 cask Batch - Burnt Wine Gums

So not a truck or a ship but a crane?

i’ve been saying for a decade now, the reason why i fell in love with springbank was cause the 10 and 12 had a gummy worm finish

Ivs said this a few times recently. The 12 year cast strength is one of the best buys in Scotch whisky these days. Solid as a rock.
Thanks again guys. I might need to use the “sugar cookies” and ‘gummy worms’ description too! I got my bottle of the 26 at the distillery, phew!
Pass just on cost alone. My cap is 100 now so I’ll stick with shelfers. Till they get crazy. Then I’ll go bourbon only.
