    Two of the best dear Alan. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Kindest regards, S.

    I gravitate more to peat and dirtier malts but between these two, I prefer the SB. The SB18 has always been a great dram.
    Cheers,

    I have that very same LR18 but it took me so long to find I'm saving it for a rainy day. It sounds right up my alley. :)

      @@thewhiskyfriend Yes Alan and I feel lucky to have been able to get both of these amazing expressions. I was able to buy them both when I was on a trip to Scotland. They are extremely difficult to get in Canada, particularly the Longrow. Both were special and I learned a lot from watching your comparison of these whiskies! Much appreciated! Superb video! Cheers! 🙂

    The Longrow 2022 is outstanding! Have the Springbank 18 from 2020 and 2021, unfortunately haven't tried the 2022 version.
    Love them both!

    Brilliant H2H battle Alan. Both fantastic Drams. I can just dream about. I wish to buy these at retail prices or win ballot but it never happend. If i must choose one Longrow is closer to my heart. Not big SB fan. 👍😁🥂🙋🏻‍♂️

    Interesting battle Alan. Thanks for sharing.
    Have the Springbank myself and love it. The Longrows I've tried... less (than the Springbank), despite being a peat lover ...duh😅

    I always watch RUclips while translating! I'm not confident in English, so I apologize if it doesn't come across well. I love whiskey but have been searching for wine cask options lately. Any recommendations? I was thinking of buying Glen Garioch 1999, but the price is a bit steep, and I'm hesitant.

      I have picked these up here in the uk over the last 2 -3 years. Price wise i paid £110 for the sb and £100 for the longrow...its the usual springbank story, if you want these bad enough you can pick them up certainly in the uk....glad you enjoyed the video my friend....

    • @Nikolay_Nikolov

      Well, I haven't seen anything from Springbank in Bulgaria since 2020. And even then there were very small quantities of Springbank 10, Hazelburn 10 and Longrow Peated. They were all reasonably priced, but sold out quickly and I could buy just a couple of bottles of Springbank 10.
      £100-£110 seems very, very nice price for 18 yo Springbank/Longrow BTW.

    Wish you luck drinking a Longrow+Springbank 18? I think you've already had a fair dose of that in abundance Alan!😀Wish I could get my hands on them. Never been able to try any Longrow, and the only Spingbank I've ever got hold of is the 10, which is beautiful by the way as you already know.

    Dirty dinky dunnage doesn't sound at all appealing..
    I find my longrow 18 to be the most interesting whiskey I have
