Springbank 10 Open Day May 2025 Bourbon And Sherry Cask 57.9% 35cl

Description

” Springbank 10 Open Day May 2025 ” what makes it noteworthy :

Cask Maturation: It was matured in a combination of bourbon and re-charred sherry casks. The “re-charred sherry” aspect suggests a specific treatment of the sherry casks to bring out different wood influences, potentially less overt sherry notes and more spicy, toasted characteristics.

• Limited Production: Only 2,000 bottles of this specific 35cl bottling were made available.
• Release Event: It was sold exclusively at the Springbank Open Day, which was part of the Campbeltown Malts Festival in May 2025.

This bottling is described as a classic Springbank with an interesting twist from the re-charred sherry.

• Nose: Expect a complex and inviting nose. Reviewers often mention a mix of sweet and savory notes: toasted marshmallows, gentle peat smoke, rye crackers, “torched sugar on top of a crème brûlée,” and plenty of that distinctive Springbank “musty, dunnage funkiness.” There are also notes of fresh bread, warm butter, orange blossom water, caramel, and a hint of ash or lemongrass.
• Palate: The mouthfeel is generally described as full-bodied, oily, and chewy. Flavors include foam bananas, ashy peat, sweet pastry notes, caster sugar, and a warm oak spice. Grilled lemon, whipped vanilla cream, milk chocolate, and orange oils have also been noted. It’s often seen as a well-balanced whisky, with a good interplay between sweetness and earthiness, and the alcohol is generally well-integrated for its strength.
• Finish: The finish is reported to be long, with lingering sweet and earthy notes, a touch of toffee and caramel, and a gentle, spicy warmth.
