![BLENDED BRILLIANCE! Campbeltown Loch Blended Malt Scotch Whisky [Springbank Distillery]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q5Cn8JtuR70/mqdefault.jpg)
"I hate everything happening right now" 😂😂
I completely agree about the whole age thing. Look at Bruichladdich. Octomore is one of the most incredible whiskies on the market and it's usually only five years old. It's about the ingredients, craftsmanship and what ultimately ends up in the glass and Octomore is prime example of that.
At one point Campbeltown had 35 distilleries. And was considered the whisky capital of the world.
Just found a very dark bottle of this for 60 clams. Thanks for the recommendation 🥃🤘Also, “Springbank Distillery” is printed right on the glass itself. Real detective work there guys 😂
This is a spectacular Blend. I freaking love Cambelltown except for the fact they are so hard to find.
Just bought three bottles £39.99 each , did I pay too much ?
@@Frank75288 not at all as long as you like it. I paid 60ish USD
How peaty is it? I'm sure I'd love it, regardless. But thinking that since my dad (who says he doesn't like smoky/peaty stuff, but likes Springbank 10/12) might like it.
@@evabin very lightly. If you’ve ever tried Springbank 10 it’s close in peatyness
A damn dirty whisky that slaps, maybe not as far as standard Springback, but a great way to try a bottle you can grab your mitts on. Cheers.
This bottle is such an underrated value, and the batch variation really makes it worthwhile picking up comparison/replacement bottles. Top Notch!
I once found cookies in the sewing kit. I was floored.
Witchburn just received planning permission and J&A Mitchell/Springbank are looking to start building another distillery in a few years.
Maybe the holiday cookie is a Moravian Spice cookie? Those are pretty popular, and tasty, around the holidays in NC (and they usually come in some kind of decorative container).
I was just searching the other day to see if you guys had reviewed this! It’s really excellent, and I feel fairly confident walking into a Specs that they’re going to have it , unlike all the other springbank products. For when I want a springbank experience without feeling bad about depleting my very limited supply of the springbank 10
Love to try this, I love any Campbelltown spirit
such a perfect duo, like pumba and timon xd 🤩
Been through a few of these. Very nice everyday sipper. I’m off to Cambeltown next weekend and got a Springbank tour booked in. Can’t wait!
I got my hands on an Octomore 13.2 on y'all's commentary about Octomore. The price point had me extremely concerned I would hate it because taste is subjective (for instance, I love Islays but the other Bruichladdich just aren't my jam). Turns out you guys were right - Octomore is absolutely incredible. I love it and I can't wait to share it with others.
Wee Beastie story is one of the best in a long time.
Hope i can try it in the future. Can't find it in my local store. Thanks for the review, you guys are amazing. Gonna miss your duo.
I really appreciated the quick history of age statements, and I agree if it's good whiskey who cares how old it is.
I am hoping you're wrong about whiskey from every state. I recently started a conquest to get a whiskey, preferably bourbon, from every state. My first road trip, to the northwest, I scored twelve. It's a lot of fun and can't wait to complete this adventure.
the start of a new era in the Vault.... screeeeeech... dry week... lol
GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S.... 🥃
Happy Humpday
That's a beautiful blended malt, I don't know how much it is in the US but in Europe you can get it for 40 Eur (43 USD) which is an amazing bargain.
Hey guys I have this novel idea where Monday through Thursday you review fairly accessible whiskey then Friday you do rare whiskeys… you could call it rare whiskey Friday where they aren’t large brands, sometimes they are, more often than not they are craft distilleries without a large amount of distribution. If you should be so lucky to get a hand on the whiskey we would be welcome for the review, and then you could thank the magnified bastard who sent it in.
Recently had the good fortune to attend an Isle of Raasay whiskey tasting at my local spot. My fellow MBs were all pretty stoked! Their main product is a mix of their 6 varieties. I ordered a bottle of their Chinkapin (their spelling) barrel unpeated, they're all worth trying if you get a chance. Cheers!
I have been to their distillary on Raasay. A great experience
Shhhh. Don’t tell people about how good Raasay is
@@jaylat4578 doh, I forgot the first and second rules of Raasay!
Ha, you started off with one of my favorites. I've only had the much lighter in color earlier batches (immediately bought a backup after my first few sips) which had a wonderful ex-Bourbon counterbalance to the Campbeltown spirit. By now I have one of the darker bottles in the stash waiting to be opened and it'll be interesting to see what the (presumably) heavier sherry influence does to the blend.
Down here in the weeds, you can really hear the crickets, thanks Daniel.
Hey Rex is that “taste of America” available yet?!! Sounds awesome
Very excited for this WHOLE NEW WORLD! Now I might be able to use some of your recommendations and tastingk notes personally rather than just enjoyingk the videos.
Utah has a distillery... that means every state has one.
The reason most of us have issue with NAS whisky is that it was the only way to compare quality if you know nothing else about the bottles, as rough as it is. Now, even that's going away.
use a super large cask in texas specifically for "old" whiskey, like the super big cask in the movie Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Thank you both for the video 🥃
Def gonna have to look out for this one. As much as I love Campbelltown as a category its unfortunately hard to find in my area!
There's a glenkeith distillery in Speyside owned by the Chivas Brothers. To go with your glenkevin
A 50 state blend? It's going to taste like MGP. 😂
Can we get a second camera angle dedicated just to Daniel’s paper toss?
Ralfy recommend it years ago, I've never seen it on the shelf.
If the climate in Texas is so impactful so can't release longer aged whisky, I wonder what would happen if you age a whiskey underground, say in a container. Not too deep but also not too shallow. Would that make a difference?
If the statement is on the website and not the bottle. For example, Makers says 5 to 6 years, or wild turkey says 6 to 8 on their website. Is there any legalities having it on the website and not the bottle?
Good luck trying to find this.
Went to the store after watching this and found 3 bottles sitting on the shelf. $60 each
@@shredward666 Congratulations! 👍
Yeah, but Ardbeg 5 IS a good whisky. It's not cohesive, like the 10. It has all the flavors, yet they are all separate. The Wee Beastie is a tasting journey that takes you from flavor to flavor to flavor that are all presented in a type rather than having to try to pick it apart to see what's in it.
Maybe do a U.S.A. regional blend. Pacific Northwest, the south, plains states, etc
Very different whisky dependent on the batch. I tried 4 or 5 batches - all different. From young and sharp to very balanced and round.
All same price in the 30s (Euros).
Literally says springbank distillery embossed on the bottle. Below the neck on top of the label
Not so much a brave new world in PA; the whisky is not available in state stores.
I really wish I could get springbank easily in Iowa 😢
How have y’all not reviewed Bombergers or shenks yet
Rather than going crazy and overpaying for this Blended Malt, which I'm sure is fine, may I suggest grabbing a bottle of ~$50 Compass Box Orchard House, which is AVAILABLE, and is a seriously great bottle and value! ✌️
I'll get both, found this in 5 minutes of searching for $50-70 USD.
My friend and I have tried it and found it to be too ethanol-y, way too young and sharp, and too little like the name, orchard like. I had to give the bottle away to another friend of mine who enjoyed it. Everyone might have their own opinion on this one, but one thing I couldn’t believe was that it won the best blended malt award. I felt as though a lot of Compass Box blends pre-2019 when John Glaser was the main blender, to be much more complex, aged, and well rounded with more depth and mouth feel, even for the blends at around the $50 mark.
Edit: I got my bottle for $50 after tax for reference
@@tupakveli Sorry you had a bad experience, most people really like the stuff. That being said, it's a natural product and there will be some batch variation, but what you described sounded very off putting.
@@MrChristopherMolloy most definitely. I'm always down to give it another shot, but my Batch was definitely one of my duds over the course of trying 10 or so bottles of Compass Box. At least for the time being, everyone who gets to enjoy it can do so without me muddling up the market at all 😂
Look it’s gog review
It's springbank material fgs ! of course it's good !
Gotta ask for donations from every state...
How is 46% low proof??
40% is lowest it can be and be whisky.
0:52, did Daniel sit on a magazine and it stuck to him?
Could you seal a wood barrel inside a stainless steel barrel? Would this prevent evaporation?
Everyone watch was immediately thinking of that decorated sewing tin.
Day 35 of asking for a Magnificent Bastard Trash Can Shot Cam! Probably never get it, just like you never actually make one!(video or it didn't happen😜)
Do you know the comic song referencing Campbelltown Loch and Whisky? Chrck out Andy Stewart.
It's not a secret in my area. Seen it for $125.00
$125?? Wow. I got it for $62 a few weeks ago
@@_justinbestclarinet 35 Euros....
'MERICA: Tastes Like Freedom
That would sell from the label alone 🦅🎆🔥
Taste Of Mer'ca should rather be a group effort than a mix. Water from state A: bottles by state B: grain from state C, D, E; distilled in state F; aged in states G & H (each for their particular characteristic); in barrels made of wood from state I; built in state J; previously containing [beverage] in state K; managed by someone in / from state L; with label by designer in state M; etc. There have to be 50 tasks. And this way every state (like hawaii) could be included.
not for nothing couldn't you guys do your "Taste of 'Merica" from your stock in the vault?
*Daniel misses* "This never happens, I swear!"
Beautiful whisky. You have to taste a lot more Scottish Whisky.
I think this might be better on the other channel, but you never know.
But have you thought about doing a video like the blind tastings you have done in the bar in other videos. But with other youtubers that happen to be in Texas? Or even having them go through the level one class? thinking about foodie ones or cultral ones, like Sorted Foods , Best Ever food review show, Guga Foods (the foodie ones) or maybe Jolly/Korean Englishman or maybe the Try Channel (a few of us MBs watch them). And yeah, I might have mentioned this before but if you bug people long enough they might do it to just shut you up, LOL.
Bonjour Messieurs, sur la bouteille c'est marqué blanc sur blanc Springbank Distillery. Il faut reconnaître que c'est possible le meilleur Blended Malt Scotch Whisky produit jusqu'à maintenant . The Mighty Springbank
I wouldn't mind a bottle of "GlennDoug"
I remember being so jealous of your old shelves of whisky. What now?
No! Bad! Sshhh! This whisky is terrible and nobody should buy it but me!
Why do you guy's not dig a deep cellar to age your casks in?
It's a bit expensive to dig a cellar through solid limestone.
Looked like Daniel disappeared when looking for the other label! Thought he was walking into a corner...then poof!
I don't know how they missed on using the name Glengoolie
Loaf of bread got a boo boo
Can’t get your hands on this in Ohio 😒
Couple of crazy and "wild turkeys".😂
Campbeltown homies whats good I miss that town
I will have to slightly disagree with you guys as to why you shouldn't necessarily care about age statements existing on whiskies "If the product is good". To the average consumer (who almost never has the ability to verify if a product is good before buying it), the age statement is a justification of price. It is not that 15 yo is unilaterally better than 10 yo because it is older, rather it is an indicator that far more space, labor, loss, and risk was dedicated to the 15 year old whisky than the 10 year old one which warrants the higher cost. The less transparency there is in the inputs, the more confusion there is for consumers to understand the price and the more people fall into the head space of "More expensive is more good." Obviously this is an oversimplification of facts, and the existence of unicorn barrels, exotic sources, etc. also contributes to the distilleries pricing scheme. There are plenty of great young whiskies, I myself prefer the ardbeg wee beastie to the ten, I just do like to know the age of the whisky I am buying.
ARDBEG
Tastes like the failure of freedom..... 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Good joke USA whiskey will taste like freedom……😅……
This whisky sucks! Don’t buy it!!!!
Piss water
Thanks, guys!
I think the ire around NAS comes from the double standard the industry puts out: "age doesn't really matter until we have old whisky to sell ya, then it REALLY matters!"
Aye! Get tae fook 🙄
