This is the 2022 edition, sorry just too lazy to add a new whisky here. 40% bourbon 60% sherry. Nose - Deep aged oak with stewed fruits, slightly turning sour, with salted sea breeze, and rich sugar cookies. This is a bit of a waxy odd fruit bomb of notes I'm not that well versed on. Things like apricots which while I do get that one, I'm not as familiar with. There's this very organic and earthy fruit element here that's really doing wonders and giving off some really classic springbank funk tones. Taste - The nose comes through to the taste well with a soft and yet richly complex array of funk, earth, salt, light peat, touches of smoke, and sweet light elements. Even some touches of steak sauce hint their way out, though dominate is light fruity and genitally sugared notes. Finish - forget the taste, here's where the whisky turns epic. Spices start building up and coming in full force now. Cinnamon, cloves, pineapple, citrus tangerines, oak spice, and some kind of green herbal fruity elements. Just big, bold, and complex. Happy days are dancing on my tongue right now. A wonderfully constructed whisky from start to finish. An amazing nose leading to a good all be it subtle pallet, to only explode as the finish begins. This springbank 25 doesn't disappoint all be it the price leaves one reaching for their wallets in sheer agony. Overall, likely 2 steps behind the 2021 and a half step off the 2016 from the best of the ones I've had. Still this is outstanding. Neck pour score 4.5
