A WHISKY ADVENTURE WITH SPRINGBANK

[@RonCHANG-kb6fz]

Springbank is King of the whisky

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

can't argue that!

[@mitchsummers9192]

SPRINGBANK IS THE BEST DISTILLERY IN THE WORLD🥃🤙

it's definitely up there! glad you're such a big fan Mitch - sláinte

Oh, so exciting! Thanks for sharing this amazing trip! Hi from Ukraine. It's not easy to get these incredible Campbeltown whiskey brands here, but I have managed to get hold of Longrow 21 today, and I'm in heaven. I can only imagine what you have felt when testing the 32-year-old version!

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks for tuning in Andrey! delighted to hear you've hunted down a bottle of Longrow - no doubt it's going down a treat! some seriously special treats on site, hopefully you'll get to visit one day! sláinte

[@andreykovalenko7508]

@@TheWhiskyBaron Haha, and then I watched another episode of your great show where you pretty much trashed Longrow 21. ))) Still think it could have been very different batches. Anyway, thanks for the reply, and keep up the great work! Your opinions are much appreciated.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@andreykovalenko7508 oh dear - sounds like you found Uncut! In honesty I'm not the biggest fan personally, however, each to their own. this is the beautiful thing about whisky, there is no right or wrong. delighted to hear you're enjoying the 21 and thank you for supporting the channel. sláinte pal

Awesome! Going to Cambeltown with a couple of mates for a few days in early August, we're not on Eat, Sleep, Dram, Repeat, though that looks epic - we have booked on the Barley to Bottle, Kilkerran/Glengyle tour, Cadenhead's Warehouse tasting and Glen Scotia tour, it looks like it's going to be amazing, really excited!

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

You’re going to have the best craic Matt - all of those tours/tastings are epic. Have an awesome time my guy. Sláinte 🥃🥃

Awesome video! Love listening to your podcast and watching the videos here. Thanks for all the great content! It's really helped me in my whisky journey. Started with Laphroaig 10 back in 2016 and over the last 8 years have been able to expand my whisky adventure.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks Andrew, comments like this mean a lot. delighted to hear we're adding some value for you on your whisky journey - be sure to share your passion with friends and family so as we keep growing the industry! maybe keep Laphroaig 10 for their second or third tasting though as we don't want to scare anyone off! sláinte pal

I did the barley to bottle tour last week and I loved it. will be doing it again another time. amazing place, amazing staff and amazing company. I had the same 32 year year old. so lovely and tropical fruit like. stunning. I wonder if its similar to the 30 year old springbank 2024

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Barley to Bottle is an amazing tour, no surprise you want to head back and do it again! sadly I haven't tried the 2024 30Y/O yet so I can't say..

In our syllabus,we have whisky chapter & our teacher gave us your distillery's example and it's very good 👍

[@barryhamilton7845]

Loved this video and seeing again where ive walked myself, and just recently. Jake you need to do a video on Speyside,just with the amount of distillries you have in a 10 mile radius, it is unbelievable! I seen 40 distillries in the three days i was there,although not all are open to the public ,i just wanted to go and see ones like Dallas dhu, Mortlach,Glenallachie,Glen Grant etc etc, every distillery has something special, and believe it or not Cardhu was my favoirite tour, although im not a big Cardhu fan. I know some of these whiskies you probably dont bother with, i dont myself,its just the mystique and history that surround them that make Speyside a magical place, and for that id love to see yous do a tour and video from there.Thanks for another great video on an Icon of Scotch whisky.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks for watching Barry! Speyside is definitely on the list; we've got a few specific distillery tours lined up, but I'll make sure I speak with Stevie and we get a Speyside tour video on the books for you. sláinte my friend!

[@barryhamilton7845]

@@TheWhiskyBaron Thanks Jake,you'll absolutely love Speyside,it's magical!! I was based in Rothes right in the heart,and had Speyburn,Glen Grant,Glen Spey and Glenrothes distillries five minutes walk from me in Rothes alone,Caperdonich would have been another.Glen grant has a great woodland walk with a wee secret stash up the path,make sure you do G.G. Macallan is five minutes drive literally up one road, Balvenie,Craigellachie,Glenfiddich,Mortlach,Dufftown and the Speyside Copperage five minutes up another road. You just dont realise how close some of them are to each other,Kininvie,Balvenie and Glenfiddich literally yards from each other.👍

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@barryhamilton7845 oh I've been many times and you're right, it's absolutely magical! that's an absolute joke of a place to live, such beautiful surroundings aside from all the wonderful whisky; why did you leave?! sounds like you know the area well - you should come and give us all a tour of your old stomping ground!

[@barryhamilton7845]

@@TheWhiskyBaron Ah Rothes isn't the best place to live but for a base whilst visiting Speyside then it's a good area and Elgin's only 10 mile away. It was family that lived there,so I would head up there once or twice a year,I'm originally from Clydebank,right inbetween where Littlemill,and Auchentoshan lies.Yeah i thought with you being in the whisky business,that surely you had been to Speyside,so you do know the place then. Just a suggestion on doing a video for that area,I'm sure people would enjoy it with the way you present a video.

Looks like an absolute blast!

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

best whisky experience so far in my journey

[@ahpadt]

no sauternes or rum cask? the port had the most funk in it for me and i loved the rum and refill sherry, so i went for 2 parts port, 2 ports refill sherry, 1 part rum and 0.1 part fresh sherry -- found the fresh sherry to dominate everything else, particularly the rum

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Sounds like a great wee blend you made! I personally find rum finishes don’t suit the majority of whiskies and Sauternes is one I’d use carefully. Wanted more of a classic Springbank vibe for my bottle

[@RomainRiviere]

superb work guys. offered me a free ticket and I thank you for that. Wish I knew this music with the violins, seems like I have already heard it in a movie...anyone?

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

sorry Romain, I've just seen I never responded to this. is it Stream by Adrian Berenguer?

[@Schmalfuss666]

Amazing 😮

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

It really was! Thanks for watching - sláinte

[@Kinshasa9200]

Coming from the USA, I thought going to Campbeltown just to try whisky would be a waste of money. Not much else to do there besides whisky, at least compared to the rest of Scotland. After watching this great video, I've convinced myself I have to go. Pretty sure trying 32 yr Springbank and 28 yr Longrow at a bar in the States would cost as much as the plane ticket anyway.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

you're absolutely right! definitely a must if you're a whisky fan, but Campbeltown is a beautiful place for a quiet retreat equally. get yourself over ASAP and let us know what you think! sláinte

[@Eunegin23]

Indeed. But it's not only Campbeltown and whisky. It's Europe. So much to discover which isn't in your regular guide book. After having travelled and lived on four continents for 4 decades: it's the small things which bring joy and will be remembered, not the sightseeing highlights. People, flavors, smells, discussions, random encounters - and meeting people who have devoted theirs lives to create something.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@Eunegin23 couldn't have said it better myself

[@bingerbub]

Superb content! Thanks for sharing your impressions from this amazing experience. We will be visiting Campbeltown in Sept but in a self organized fashion and a stop at Deanston on the way to the airport. Looking very much forward to it. One question: was the historical tour through Campbeltown part of the Springbank experience, or something you habe booked separately? Would be interested to add this to our itinerary.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Thanks for watching Boris! you're going to have the best time and with the addition of Deanston you can't lose. the tour was part of the Eat Sleep Dram Repeat experience, but I'm sure if you have a chat with them you could make an addition to your experience - the Springbank team is absolutely amazing and go out of their way to accommodate. have a great time Boris. sláinte!

[@Dramdiary]

Might have booked a visit based on this.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Incredible! Glad we managed to push you over the edge and jump into Campbeltown - you won’t regret it! Would mean a lot if you mentioned that to the distilleries whilst you’re there so we get invited back to make more content. Have an amazing time! Sláinte my friend 🥃🥃

[@KevinGriffin-vl9wj]

Great video I am visiting spring bank next month do you have any tips as in the time I should there to Que up? I have to get some of that caged whisky 😅.. thanks

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

you're going to have the best time! definitely get some of the cage bottles, but the Campbeltown Loch expressions are a great bang for your buck. Only recommendation would be to soak it all in and ask as many questions as you can - the teams at Springbank/Glengyle and Glen Scotia are awesome. and maybe have a night time dram at the Loch if the weather allows!
