Nose
The not-cask-strength ABV (my guess) makes itself known in the way that this is a fairly timid whisky. There's a complex nose of the Springbank funkiness, but there's also some fresh apples and grapes. The sherry adds mostly spices and a touch of bitterness. There are some dates in the background. A whiff of something meaty too.
Palate
The arrival is very gentle, with a hint of dryness but virtually no heat. Quite fruity, with dates and plums, but also stewed apples. A bitter touch from the sherry cask along with baking spices. Clove, cinnamon, black pepper. The dryness increases with time, as does the bitterness. Almonds, plum stones.
Finish
The finish goes more towards the sherry than the nose made me expect. There's lots of dried fruit going on, as well as baking spices. A hint of the feinty Springbank spirit, but the sherry cask is getting the overhand.
