I have been looking for this bottle since last year, and it is nice to see Springbank do a new release! The first note on the nose was green apples, and the bourbon oak wood is heavy here. It's not overly woody though. The dunnage warehouse, might as well be Springbank trademarked, leathery goodness is in there as well. Toffee and caramel hits the palate, along with cinnamon on the back end. The taste is not hot at all for its 55.8 ABV. It reminds me of a smoothness of an Octomore, minus the peat. Vanilla forward, with a heavy mouth coat. Water opens the fruit even more so. The white grapes, peach, and pears come to the forefront, along with some honeysuckle and hay, but masks the sweetness. Very well done and a 4.5. The theme of the dram should be something from my hometown Louisville. I am thinking "Flight Response" by Days of the New.
