I organised a tasting not too long ago of wine-finished malts for the wine club
I’m a member of. Tokaji-finished Longrow was one of the malts on offer and

12.0pt'>Don't get me wrong - some of Springbank's products are spectacular, but
I have yet to find anyone who actually LIKES any of the Tokaji finished stuff
(Springbank or Longrow). And the 2nd release of the Port finish in the wood
expressions series was fairly nasty too. I do own shares of Springbank whisky
that is still maturing there. I'm not knocking Springbank's malt, just
their cask management of late.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>It's a sign of the times; good sherry casks are exorbitantly expensive
and even bourbon barrels are getting tough to source. It's likely that
distillers are using the same casks over and over again and need to get some
fresh wood in contact with the maturing spirit, necessitating the use of wine
casks. And then there are the "boutique" malt producers (I won't
mention any names) who roll out about a dozen (or more) wine finished
expressions every year; the majority of the ones I've tried were not worth the
asking price.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

> Hello Martin! <br>

> Can't believe in this. Springbank is on a good expansion course (Glengyle)
<br>
> and sales develop well. Time is very friedly to Scotch Single Malt WHisky <br>
> today. <br>
> <br>
> What often happens is malinformation thru bad retailers. Whenever those
miss <br>
> to secure their supply of a particular brand, something weird has
happened. <br>
> Like Lagavulin burnt down (tale here in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Germany</st1:place></st1:country-region> a few years ago) or <br>
> something similar. <br>
> <br>
> But this Springbank tale is something else. It describes something
happening <br>
> in the midterm future. <br>
> <br>
> Why should a distillery shut down in the future? Perhaps they have to <br>
> replace a worn still? This would make sense. But to reduce this
circumstance <br>
> to a closure forever is bad habbit. <br>
> <br>
> Perhaps you should buy all Spingbank bottles available in your country? Is
<br>

> <br>
> And in the end it might be true. But this has the least probability in my <br>
> view. <br>
