Yea, I visited the Oban distillery years ago before I was even really into whisky but quite enjoyed it then.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The real win was finding a Springbank 10. I've been searching for it or the 12CS for 6 months now; pretty sure I got the last bottle for sale retail in Spain!
Previously, I bought a 3x20cl Cambeltown pack that was supposed to include the Springbank 10 but it ended up being the CV. Then, I found a Springbank 10 and despite the website saying it was in stock, they called to say it wasn't after I ordered (my guess is an employee took it home to auction).

I have the springbank, little more smoke than my sensitive highland’s palette usually likes, but not too heavy
Finished my Springbank 12 CS late last year - it's good stuff. Still have 1 more tucked away
I have never tried a Springbank but there seem to be a lot of people who enjoy it. What would be a good first bottle to purchase from them?

Of all the ones I've had, Springbank 15 remains my favourite
Lagavulin 8 is $60 at superstore. I prefer the 16 but this is a good price on the 8.
Depending on how adventurous you are, be warned Springbank is a little different as it's got a funk to it that isn't super common if you're mainly otherwise trying widely available original bottlings. I've gotten more negative than positive responses sharing various Springbank products with friends that like scotch (especially both Springbank 12 CS and Longrow Red). I'd agree the Springbank 15, and maybe even Kilkerran 12 (although not the same Springbank stills), would be great, and relatively safe, starting points.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

A friend re-gifted me a bottle of Macallan Gold Double cask.
Problem is it doesn't have a cork as he had it in a Jigger. (Dont ask...)
What can I use to replace the cork. Nothing I have will fit.

Worst case go pick up a fancy whisky decenter (like this https://store.vinepair.com/products/...iquor-decanter ) for $15 at Home sense and empty the bottle into it. It'll look good for display.

Good idea...but I want to transport this next week on my golf trip. Maybe a re-useable wine bottle stopper ...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Put it in an empty soda bottle.
If you are ever in the Cambrian Heights area and want an empty scotch bottle to transfer, just let me know. I have a ton lying around, and some decent looking ones like the JW XR. Unfortunately don't have a Macallan one.
