May Releases

We are delighted to announce that we have 3 new releases that will be available in the UK from tomorrow (9th May). A new Springbank, a new Longrow and a new Hazelburn – all the details are below.

  • Springbank 21yo 46%
  • Longrow 18yo 46%
  • Hazelburn 13yo Sherrywood 47.4%

As we have mentioned in previous announcement emails, this email is designed to replace the old ‘Available Now’ Newsflash that was traditionally sent out on the launch day as a number of members have requested that we let you all know sooner. As such, notifications on the launch day itself will only be made on social media. We do urge members not to publish the details below on social media before we announce it ourselves through our own social media channels. This will hopefully let you all get first bite of the cherry although we would highlight that we do not control how shops sell their stock, if they take pre-orders etc. Even the Cadenhead shops are out-with our control so if you have any enquires about what stock individual shops have please contact them directly.
