Cadenhead’s London “Springbank 12 Burgundy, Brexit and Small Batch” – Scotch Whisky News
THE BANANA (Brexit) FILES THE TRUTH’S NOT OUT THERE.
Well folks it’s been some time since my last newsletter, the amazing drams released a few weeks ago have almost gone sadly.
A lot of funny things have been going on since we last communicated. It would be remiss of me not to have a dig wouldn’t it!
Before anything else though lets get to the big news from Springbank.
The new Springbank 12 year old Burgundy Wood has been released in the UK literally as this newsletter is arriving in your inbox!
This new vintage is going to be limited again however it’s available worldwide very soon
with over 10,000 bottles, unlike the small amount we had with the 16 year olds this spring.
The nose and palate are stunning, lots to dig into from the moment you open the bottle. The finish will deliver a more complex end than expected so take a seat and relax as you delve into this amazing Springbank.
If you have a bottle on reserve you have 7 days to get in touch with us to pay.
Looking forward to the next Cadenhead’s Small Batch release…
We have decided to release after the referendum in the UK on June 23rd and expect to deliver the new stocks into the stores around June 28th (you know how good we are at keeping to dates so don’t panic if we have not sent the newsletter by then, it will happen – honest).
Below will be the full list of new malts but before we give you a heads up let me just say you will need a dram or two once this crazy Brexit vote is over and done with in a few weeks knowing the governments own MP’s I doubt they will let it rest!
Expect that truly horrendous Boris to spin more fake stories about bananas or some other item. Notice how nobody is allowing Boris to debate on TV simply because he makes things up! But that’s nothing compared to dear old Dave & Gideon who have told us about world war 3 or something? Odd I know, and lets not leave it with those 3, how about Corbyn! Silence is golden or what.
So with all that to look forward to we think you’ll be ready for the new small batch range from Cadenhead’s! I know a lot of you already know since the Campbeltown festival I have been given a list of most wanted by so many of you.
Distilleries we will be featuring…
- Aberlour
- Auchentoshan
- Blair Athol
- Creations Blend Vanilla batch 2
- Caledonian single Grain Closed Distillery
- Dailuaine Sherry Cask 46%
- Glendullan
- Glen Grant
- Glen Spey 46%
- North British Single Grain

WHAT, NO AGES? Always leave them wanting more I say!
Do we have anything else? Of course we do but all in good time…
I can tell you about Kilkerran though! Expect a special announcement soon about the release due in August for the official 12 year old.
Also due back soon will be Springbank 21 (Possibly the best of the new 21 year olds and will be a fast seller with limited availability).
New Springbank 18 is also due soonish I am told, but soon in Whisky time can be several months!! (I will update you all when I can).
Anyway, that’s it for now. I know some will be wanting to know why I have a picture of our old labels! All will be revealed soon (ish).
Remember no matter what the government or the Brexit camp say, it’s all just smoke and mirrors with as much reality as Harry Potter (Only Harry Potter is better and more truthful I bet)
