Whisky Forum - Longrow Rundlets & Kilderkins

Here is an interesting new release from the Springbank distillery which I think could be worth watching for; the Longrow 11 Year Old Rundlets & Kilderkins.

Rundlets and Kilderkins is a strange name for a whisky which many of you may not be familiar with, it is the name of the small 60 litre and 80 litre casks that were commonly used in the 17th and 18th century.

This release follows on from the earlier release of Springbank Rundlets & Kilderkins which was an experiment by Springbank that turned out very well and the whisky was very popular and highly rated by whisky drinkers including myself.

Longrow 11 Year Old Rundlets & Kilderkins was distilled November 2001 and bottled January 2013 at 57.1% abv and is a limited edition of 9000 bottles. Priced around Â£59

These sound interesting, I have enjoyed many of the Longrow (and Springbank) releases though I do still lament the loss of the Longrow CV. It's also a malt that you can buy with the confidence that you're supporting jobs in Campbeltown and that much of the money goes back to the local economy.

I bought a bottle of the Springbank Rundlets & Kilderkins after trying it at a tasting last year, cant wait to try the Longrow Rundlets & Kilderkins .

bifter i didnt realise they had ended the Longrow CV, i still have an unopened bottle in the cupboard. Springbank could do with updating there web site as it states on the Longrow brand page:

The Springbank website is a wonderful hotch-potch of lack of updates, unreliable information and broken log-ins.........
