All creamy delicious vanilla sweetness at first, then transitions to some excellent orange (sour orange?) notes mid and late palate, along with a nice rounded smokiness. Nothing sharp on this one, but still enough Springbank character to stand out from the other all bourbon maturations out there. A couple drops of water makes the nise explode with more vanilla, and adds another layer of barley sugar sweetness. Delicious! Very thankful to have found a couple dusty bottles of this at a random store stop.
