Bottled at 100 proof (57% abv), a superb 10 year old from Springbank, released in March of 2004. The nose is crisp with a superb clarity and depth. There are notes of stemmy grass, oily petals, blossom, buttery honey and a touch of wood resin. There are some notes of fraises des bois and orange, tangerine and mandarin. The smoke wafts gently from time to time detachedly. The palate is quite sweet and of medium-body. There are notes of tropical fruits, piña colada and smoke. Hints of confiture de fraise, notes of calves leather and a little marmalade. The finish is of good length with notes of oily oak and orange.
