Campbeltown Loch 2024 / Batch Variant whisky...Do we care...

[@dksculpture]

Now I know why there’s no springbank at my local store. 😂

The 2024 release is fantastic. The Sherry Forward blend really stands out. Rich and fruity. Oily mouth feel. I'm buying a backup of this 2024 release.

Long time no see brother. Here's hoping you are well. I plan on picking up some of this as other Campbeltown offerings here in the US have gone way up in price. Cheers! 🥃 - P

Oct 2022 batch was very sulfuric. This also happened with Springbank 15. I think they have a lot of bad sherry casks at their distillery.

What a great label / producer , one of my favorite, thanks to share 💥🙏⚡️🥃🥃

Sounds nice, Alan, and I agree the batch variation with this one should not be a problem. I refuse, however, to pay the contrived scarcity/local gouging mark-up for this one. It's almost never on sale in nz but when it is (late last month, maybe once-twice/year?) it's ~UKP67, ~67% higher than your 40 quid. That's also 38% higher than the local price for Longrow Peated... which also is almost never on sale other than ballots but at least the gouging on it is rather less. In the CL case it's possible the single retailer that was selling it here made the mistake of getting it via an "intermediary", I didn't ask them. I say "mistake" but it did all sell out...

Springbank is the Best Distillery in the world 😎🥃👌

For many yes but not everyone!

[@chazchilly9697]

Seeing this in the states…starts around $75 but seeing it go on offer for $50-$55 and it’s definitely an all day buy at that price IMO Thx Alan!…pays to be the Whisky Friend 😉

Hi Alan. Amazingly I haven’t purchased this let alone try it. Must amend this. Good video. Slàinte Alan.

[@thewhiskyfriend]

There very different David the latter batches seem more sherried....cheers fella

[@zedman8720]

Great review Alan, I only wish we could get it here for the equivalent of 40pounds! The only supplier here in Melbourne Australia has it for a whopping $185 !

[@thewhiskyfriend]

Thats a shame fella...would it not be better buying in the uk and ship it to Aus....?

[@zedman8720]

@@thewhiskyfriend I did that a few years ago . Bought 2 of the 2022 release bottles. Ended up costing me $165/ bottle after shipping and import duty. I paid originally 37 pound’s per bottle! But the charges just killed it.

[@thewhiskyfriend]

@zedman8720 shame fella...

[@XiLL4X]

Greate review Alan, have two bottles from last years batch and really enjoy them. Could you tell me pls what bottle code your bottle has?

[@thewhiskyfriend]

@@XiLL4X the code is 30/01/24 my friend....

[@xiamengbaby]

That's $70 in the Chicago area and it looks like an older bottling still for sale here.

[@thewhiskyfriend]

There will be a date stamp on the back of the bottle below the label...

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

Guid blether as always, Allan!

[@peathead4450]
