(FRESHLY OPEN): Quite tasty, but rather barrel-heavy. The typical Springbank Funk is not in the foreground, but can be felt in the nose and even more clearly on the palate. Strong start, then beautiful complex and changing aromas. Still a bit sherry-heavy, but Springbank distillate can't be ousted. Tart, sweet, dry, spicy, mineral, nutty, everything is included. I like it very much again after the great 2021 batches.
(EDIT): 6 weeks later with lots of air in the bottle there is a lot more springbank present. The cask is still strong and 2 dominant flavor conglemerates fight for supremacy. Nobody wins, it remains a great balance. I'm inclined to add another point. Who would have thought, Springbank and I haven't exactly been in love with each other until now

I miss the Springbank DNA, especially in the nose. The sherry casks dominate too much for me, that could be almost anything. Good whisky, no question, but not what I expected

I always thought the last 15s were really strong, better than the 18s. I like this one too, but it doesn't impress me as much as its predecessors.

As some have already written here, it's not a sherry monster, but the typical spring bank note is really hardly perceptible in the nose. But that doesn't mean he's run over at all. On the contrary, a nice and round malt. Luckily he still has a few edges left.

A light sweetness and light fruit on the palate, the finish also has a little tartness to offer.
