  • Obsessed with buying a 15 yr Springbank despite the downer guide!

    I was so looking forward to this episode…why is the woman guiding the Springbank tasting so negative?! Negative about visiting Campbeltown in particular! Who cares if it’s hard to get to! Many places in Scotland are—it’s still worth it. I learned a few things in this episode despite her annoying warning caveats to everything. Slainte!

Q: How has it been for you to re-engage with the society from that point where you didn't really have any connection at all with the club that you started?
It wasn't very clear what was wanted initially, but my return was welcomed as I contributed to making the society more interesting and fun, appealing more to those who appreciate high-quality whisky.
