I dunno about Rubbish, but wasn't expecting this in your top 10. I think these longrow's taste WELL below their 46%. And I paid WELL under 400 buying from the UK on these, and they weren't hard to get at the time.

[@WhiskyMystery]

I notice auction prices are not that high £190ish. Longrow 18 is high up for us and this was better. Also better that the HP 21 I think. Low viscosity and bubble factor might give that low ABV effect.

[@topshelfdustin3060]

@@WhiskyMystery they both drink thin to me, and actually that HP21 is similar. All good whiskies but yeah they're not viscous at all to me. But yeah I'm not super high on the longrow 21's, just too weird and dirty. But it seems we love the springbank stuff but I'm a springbank distillate guy and you're a longrow distillate guy. That's ok.

Hi Phil and deepa I hope this finds you well, just finished watching 👀 your video, and good 👍 as it gets, Phil can you tell me if k&l liquor ships 🚢 to other states, if they do then I know they can ship to new Mexico, because n.m. is a state any liquor store can ship to !! I wish we could get some of the whiskeys you and deepa drink, I have to drive 100 mile round trip to just get any !! I buy from total Wine and spec's in Texas, I would love to get hazelburn, longrow, kilkerran just to name a few, but, neither one of these stores has any, and say they aren't available to them, which I don't believe, any help is appreciated, cheers guy's and keep up the great reviews !!!

[@WhiskyMystery]

Hi Frankie The do list NM as one of the states they ship to although it only mentions wine... www.klwines.com/Shipping/StateLegality worth a try though. Also see if there is anything on our sharing list you are looking to try... docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yJZOoVLImgsx2K6UretuZoRBRFqh7799lOsPEdbdAzA/edit#gid=0 If yes send me an email whisky at captain3d dot com
