My summer planned trip to Cuba was scuppered so I did the next best thing... a whisky buying trip/tour of Scotland! Had a great week with a mix of rain and glorious sunshine. Some great pick ups too -

Is that a blend or is it just Springbank? We don't get the stuff here, but I've seen it in Canada.

Yeah, I wanted to know what was in the blend. If it was a blend of several malts or just grain and Springbank.

It's gotta be produced by Springbank judging by the packaging.

Seng, do you know if there is grain in the blend or is it a vatted malt?

Does it taste like Springbank?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk


It's not a pure malt blend, supposedly blended from Springbank, Longrow and a Lowland grain believed to be Girvan.

I'll let you know after I open it tomorrow.

It is a Springbank product. Wish I can find the 30 Year Old.

Any Aussies hear about this wine? Just picked it up. Thoughts?



Not this particular bottling but Yalumba is a very old and well established wine company that produces excellent value wine across all price brackets.

Information on the web suggest what you've got there is an excellent wine that will give any serious Cotes du Rhone and probably quite a few Chateauneuf du Pape a serious run for the money.
