Campbeltown tasting Fri 25.1.13 £23/20* Edinburgh

[jmrl]

At The Kilderkin, 65/67 Canongate, Royal mile Edinburgh, 7.30pm

Glen Scotia 10yo 46%, this is the 'standard' bottling from the newly released range form the underused Campbeltown distillery.

Springbank 12yo 53.1% batch 5, the latest in the line of full strength 12yos which have proved justifiably popular.

Springbank 21yo 46% 2013 release, the second outing for the iconic* bottling since it all but disappeared over ten years ago.

Longrow 11yo 51.7% Rundlets and Kilderkins, the second in a trilogy of the Springbank distillery malts from small casks.

Hazelburn Bourbon barrel 11yo 2000 - 10/12 54.3% 240 bottles Cadenheads, to date most special releases of Hazelburn have featured distinct wood varieties so to try the unpeated triple distilled expression from a 'straight forward' Bourbon cask should be interesting.

* "iconic" like "rare" and "traditional" are almost meaningless in whisky marketing and I rarely use them but feel comfortable using these words to describe this malt, so there.
