Springbank's wood finish line greatly extends the amount of time a "finished" whisky spends in the cask from which it draws unique characteristics.
This one spends half its maturation time in ex bourbon casks.

Tasting Notes
"A sniff brings lots of vanilla, honey, and tropical fruits like papaya and a bit of coconut. The taste is an exquisite balance of rum and whisky characteristics. This is a rich and sweet whisky with cocoa, apricots, and more papaya; the palate also shows bitter dark chocolate, oak, and salted caramel. A few drops of water really brings the fruit forward, accompanied by a floral burst and more salt."
