Product Description
Please note
- The labels have some printing imperfections and slight damage.
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. A previous category winner at the World Whiskies Awards.

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
Score
89 points.

very good
What an unbelievable whisky. I'm a huge peat head, but while this doesn't have the kind of peat and smoke I normally look for in an Islay (more like medium peat), it blends in BEAUTIFULLY with the rest of the notes in this drink. Wonderfully complex but not too challenging, unless this is your first peated whisky. I love how the fruitiness from the sherry casks pairs up beautifully with the more savory, earthy flavors. Gets even better as the bottle opens up more; you get way more of the fruit and the cream and the peat settles down a bit, but still contributes greatly to the overall character of this whisky. Highly recommended if you're looking for something new and interesting, especially if you're already a peat junkie. I paid $98 for my bottle, which is usually the price range that makes me a little nervous given there are some mediocre drams in that range, but I would gladly pay it again for another bottle, and likely will in the future.
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).
