I fished off my last 1 ounce of this. One ounce sitting for months in an otherwise empty 750ml has got to have some oxidation impacts. I noticed the profile much more extreme this time around. I took 1/2 an ounce and added a small amount of ice, and took the rest with a drop of water. It’s like the Miley Cyrus of the whiskey world. One sample was the wild butt naked gritty Miley swinging on a wrecking ball, the other was the pretty, Sunday brunch dressed Miley barefoot in her backyard singing Jolene. You find both attractive, depending on the mood. So...the one with ice was much more grittier than before, with burned coffee and pure cacao overwhelming in the forefront. The one with a drop of water was milk chocolate and orange, lighter than months ago. I guess that’s the magic of oxidation’s ionic breakdown.

@PBMichiganWolverine - you paint a good picture. I’ll take the former, you can have the latter. :)
Oh I so can see her holding a Springbank 18, dancing on a pickup truck in cowboy boots. And this is why I’m not in marketing...☺️
You compared springbank to Miley Cyrus? Blasphemer!
