Reviewed July 13, 2021200 ml, the cork sucks and lets go! Also I don't know the details on this, my understanding is 7-14 year and a mix of casks but I didn't research. Nose - Oh wow! This is classic springbank 10 honestly. A bit of smoke, a bit of peat, sugar cookies, sherry, vanilla oak bourbon, and bucks of joy. Some purple berry elements coming in (port? Good sherry casks?). Taste - So here I get a lot of notes from the 10 but I get a bit more youthful bite and also a bit more smooth and mellow rich and creamy elements. There's a bit of stale bread and oak with so much salty and light smoke elements. This entire CV lineup has been a really cool exploration of blended age springbanks. Youthful and hot yet complex with explosive finishes even if a bit short. 2.0 And again 75 eur for the 3 pack of 200 ml's. OK the fun part which is the best CV? nose on all of them starts out pretty similar. I'm finding which ever has been in the glass the longest smells the best as they get sweeter and less of this off note from younger whiskies is there. Taste - The longrow does the most to showcase a mix of cask finishing and maybe comes off like it has the most youthful whisky in it. The hazelburn has an almost glue like element up front but the finish really does it some awesome justice. Hazelburn is a weird malt profile that I tend to like more than some others. The springbank is just good springbank and what I think we've all come to love about the brand. It's nothing special by their standards or anything like that, but it's well it's springbank. Not really a shocker but Springbank - Hazelburn - Longrow.
