Blended from a mixture of bourbon and sherry casks, the light colour of this malt belies the richness of its character. The nose has a wide range of aromas, from citrus fruits to pears and a hint of peat, while the palate shows touches of smoke, vanilla essence, nutmeg, cinnamon and the salty tang characteristic of the distillery. Picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whiskies Awards 2014.

Comment
I liked the new 10 a lot when I tried it two years ago, let’s see how it evolved. I already tried it blind and scored it 88, which is very high for an entry-level whisky.
-
Nose
I’m very glad to report that Springbank’s style is now almost the same as it was in the 1960s or early 1970s, which the comparison with the old 5 shows well. Phenolic, mineral, waxy, briney, coastal (seashells) and farmy (‘farmyard after the rain’), resinous (pine needles)… Truly beautiful. Still hints of bitter oranges but less so than in earlier recent Springbanks.
-
Mouth
Wow! Fat and oily, much peatier than other Springbanks, as if they had thrown a few casks of Longrow into the vatting. Peppery, salty, waxy, lemony, orangey… Just great.
-
Finish
Long, lemony, peaty and peppery.

Comments
Up up up. I don’t know if all the recent batches of the 10 are like this one but when they are… SGP:454

I've been trying out a variety of whiskies of different regions and this is the first to really blow me away. There is so much more going on than a lot of whiskies at this price, and it's definitely the first one I can say I will always want to have in stock. I'm not much good at identifying specifics of taste but there is something truly unique and surprising about the flavour of this - heather and honey perhaps about right. I've recommended to all my whisky drinking friends.

I do not get a lot of smoke in the nose or on the palate with this dram. With or without water, the body is full, rich and I find that just a drop of water opens the flavor, texture and allows aeration that extends the warm hug you get when you fully embrace the sample.

My god is this a beautiful dram. So multi dimensional, all the above tasting notes apply, 100%. Beautifully balanced, sweet, smoky, salty, floral. Every time I take a dram I have a different experience. Only thing I will say is that this one to have by itself or at the end of a tasting session, as you are likely taste the Springbank smoke in whatever you drink after this (unless it is a more heavily peated dram).

This is one of the best entry level Scotches I have tried and the experience is at or above some priced at $100 to $150US. Nose: Outstanding clear spicy, aromatic, clean and well ballanced. Taste: smooth with buttery notes, lightly oily, peppery. Afterglow: warm. You want more and a sniff of the glass gives all the aromatics. This is the most well ballanced single malt in the $50-75 range I have had and a buy at any price below $100. Very good value. Being Scottish, I want the best, but the best at a value price. This hits all the points. Buy if you can find it.
