So my least favorite springbank ever, a few drams in what will i think tonight. Nose - OK first off, I'm smelling this like crazy just from the pour. OK so sherry, oak, BBQ sauce, and sulfur. My first thoughts when I opened this reminded me of a baby diaper that my dog ate as a kid. Now I'm getting more sweet and bbq vs that but it's still there in the back ground. I get a touch of vinegar, touch of salt. Taste - Springbank funk, BBQ (citrus bbq?), nice oaks, salty, savory. No smoke no fruity notes either. Ok so it's more mesquite if that makes sense. Still i get some of that baby diaper stuff, of sulfur. You know this is crazy but this bottle has been open well over a year and I gotta say, it has finally lost the REALLY off putting notes and those off notes now aren't a problem at all. I still don't love this one and it's still not my springbank of choice. This is a HARD one to score because it's so insanely complex, it's SPRINGBANK, and it's down right good casks, but I get those odd flavors. I however know the quality here and accept some issues. As a result an insanely low score for springbank but still a pickup if you're a fan.
