The immortal Alfred Bernard

[lowlander]

Hi guys, i was just reading alfred bernard's book whisky distilleries of the uk,and i had a thought why don't the guys at sprinkbank do a special bottle for the great man.something like the 1966 made with all the local ingredients and local coal,this would be a fitting dram for the only man known to have tasted 129 different scottish whiskys. cheers marc.

We have no plans for such a bottling at present, but maybe if a special anniversary came up, we would consider this. We do have some local whisky made with local barley which could be appropriate.

Thanks janet, looking through the book it seems he visited springbank & longrow in july 1885 so next year would be 125yrs.
He also meet mr john ross the founder of longrow who died in 1886.
