My apologies for some shaky video on the 'condensed' Sringbank tour added to this video. This was a result of not carrying a camera Gimbal with me while travelling the UK (Scotland). I was not aware that they removed the KZitem video stabilization feature. I did correct my other video on the edited version of the 'Springbank Distillery Tour' by re-doing the video with my own stabilization software. I will be prepared in the future and will be using my own software stabilization in the processing any shaky parts of the video (or have a Gimbal).

As I mentioned in the previous video we have just done over 2800 miles of driving on winding narrow roads and through the most spectacular Scottish scenery and history. I could feel the moods of Scotland all around me. So many distilleries to see and maybe too many in too short a time; in just a few weeks. So I would like to toast you all as I get another breath of that Scottish highland air because I am really missing it. All I can think of at the moment is when will I get to go back?
After 3 days in Edinburgh we headed through the central highlands (6 distilleries) and then to the Speyside (10 more distilleries) and made it to Inverness which was our home for 3 days. We then travelled across east to west to the the Isle of Skye where I can now understand why people say it is the most beautiful of the Isles. We had booked a large cottage and then toured Taliskar. Not nearly long enough but we had to leave. We were off to Fort William (Ben Nevis) and Oban where we rested. We travelled through some unforgettable mountainous terrain and coastal landscape which brings to me a lot of emotion when I now think of it. Then to a whisky pilgrimage, the Kintyre Peninsula and Campbeltown once home to 32 distilleries and a hundred illegal ones. This is the home of Springbank, Glengyle and Glen Scotia as well as two new distilleries planned for the near future. In recent years Springbank has become an enigma because the whisky is so hard to find. Many of the distillery tour experts say that this is one of the most important distilleries to visit in Scotland. It is not a Behemoth state of the art distillery like Macallan, in fact it is very old and smaller in size with just 3 stills. But if you want to see how whisky was made over a hundred years ago with full transparency on how they make it complete from the malting floor to the dunnage warehouse, you go to Springbank. So you would think that the most sought after whisky in Scotland would cost a fortune but the distillery does not have exorbitant prices. It is the flippers and secondary market that jacks up the price. The issue is that Springbank does not produce enough whisky for the demand, a problem that a lot of distilleries wish they had. They do not seem to want to change the way they do things and that is 'Old School'.
So what is Longrow whisky? Springbank makes Longrow as their heavily peated whisky which is at 50-55 ppm. Longrow is distilled twice as compared to Springbank which is 8 ppm and distilled two and a half times. The other Springbank whisky is Hazelburn which is non-peated and triple distilled. I have honestly never tasted Longrow so this will be a treat. I had to stand in line for a couple hours before the distillery opened in order to get this bottle of Longrow and a Springbank 15 so I can understand why people line up early in the morning for the very few bottles that are available each day. Some of the not so happy people in the line up behind me did not get a bottle. So let's find out if this Longrow was worth waiting for. Enjoy the video. Slàinte Mhath
