Ha haaa! The theme of this dram is the Average White Band's "Pick Up the Pieces". Dat nose is funky, but gooood. Vanilla, cake batter, rich red, red wine (maybe this should be an UB40 song?) and woody elements. The palate - oh man, this is a "daddy size" piece of New York cheesecake with extra strawberry syrup. The finish is long, and dare I use the cliche "smooooth". Only a few drops of water with this guy. It may be hard to track down at this point, but WELL worth the effort.

Tried this Springbank once and found it fairly dry, to be polite. I would not buy a bottle for myself, but my wife loved it.
Nice review, Telex. If you’re interested in trading a dram of this let me know. I’ve got some product to move, lol.
Nice review! I'd like to try this expression one day.
I would honestly say it's a 50/50 balance. Just my opinion though.
this one seems to be a love-it or hate-it type. Does the Burgundy take control here, or Springbank? Burgundy is such a strong wine, I'm hoping it's not the one in charge here.
