Let’s take a look at a classic Single Malt whisky. The Springbank 10 is their entry level whisky that’s matured in bourbon casks as well as sherry casks. This 2020 release is bottled at 46% and retails between $55 to $70. The Springbank distillery is known for having three different expressions. Hazelburn is their unpeated line, Springbank has a moderate level of peat, and Longrow is their heavily peated. All releases come with age statements, without any coloring or chill-filtering, and are bottled at a minimum of 46% abv. For reference, both my bottles have a laser code of 20/104 (104th day of 2020). I know I was hearing some chatter over in Europe about this 2020 version, so let’s dive in and see what that’s all about.
To get a jump on finding special bottles like this, join me at www.patreon.com/liquorhound. There you’ll get a 2-week head start on hunting these bottles before the videos are released on my YouTube channel! Currently, I’m releasing a new review every 2 weeks (on Thursdays) first on Patreon, and then 2 weeks later it goes up on YouTube. This allows me to use my Patreon channel as a launch platform – giving my Patrons that 2-week advantage. You’ll also be able to access to the large private review library, see all reviews add-free, get bonus content and videos, be able to message me directly, and be eligible for giveaways. But regardless of where you’re watching, I want to thank all of my viewers! It’s that combination of my Patrons and the YouTube ad views that have allowed me to keep my independence and self-purchase the bottles I review. By doing so, I hope you feel safe in knowing you’re getting my 100% unbiased and honest opinions.
As of August 2021, my current bottle count is over 2,500. I am a Certified Specialist of Spirits and have also been accredited by the Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT). I've been actively collecting for more than two decades and what started as a small basic home bar has transformed (with the help and understanding of my wonderful wife) into this collection and career. Speaking of my career, stay tuned for the September launch of the new “Saints Alley” project that I’ve been working on. Given my knowledge and high standards, you know I’m working hard with my team to give you some amazing releases! Thanks for watching and remember to please drink responsibly. Cheers!
