Nose: Nothing like the whiff of that core springbank dna…stewed plums, figs, dates, that springbank salinity and smell of the sea, bandaids and iodine. Smoked salt butter. Bees wax.

Palate: Tastes like a drier sherry, maybe oloroso, slightly more savory, nose carries over nicely to the palate with that core springbank dna holding constant.

Rating: 6 / 10 – This is an interesting dance between springbank core dna and the fresh sherry cask and it works. Fun.
