Obsessed with buying a 15 yr Springbank despite the downer guide!

I was so looking forward to this episode…why is the woman guiding the Springbank tasting so negative?! Negative about visiting Campbeltown in particular! Who cares if it’s hard to get to! Many places in Scotland are—it’s still worth it. I learned a few things in this episode despite her annoying warning caveats to everything. Slainte!
