Springbank 10 Sherry Wood Fino — сухой, винный и освежающий виски с яркой кислотностью, минеральностью и дымностью, но с заметными критическими замечаниями по цене, алкоголю и спорному балансу.

развернуть подробно

Дегустаторы описывают этот релиз как сухой, винный и освежающий, с яркой кислотностью и нотами белого вина, зелёного яблока, белого персика, дыни, цитрусовых, специй, дыма и йода. Fino-каск здесь активен: он даёт солёные, минеральные и винные оттенки, а также сухофрукты, орехи, шоколад, кожу, табак и соль. Отмечают восковую текстуру и длинный финиш, а также отсутствие приторной сладости. При этом часть дегустаторов считает, что бочка не подавляет характер Springbank и дистиллят остаётся узнаваемым, тогда как другие пишут, что фирменная «фанковость» приглушена или что Fino доминирует над дистиллятом; подчёркивается также нехватка типичной «фанковой» шерри-сладости. Мнения о качестве расходятся: от восторженных оценок со сбалансированным финишем до сдержанных «нормально, но не более». Звучат критические замечания об интенсивной минеральной, почти металлической ноте, излишне заметном алкоголе, шероховатости и высокой цене — некоторые прямо пишут, что виски не стоит запрашиваемых денег. Несколько отзывов сравнивают его с предшественниками по серии Sherry Wood и считают Palo Cortado более удачным, а релиз называют спорным или менее удачным, чем аналогичные по Sherry-каскам. Серные и металлические нюансы воспринимаются по-разному — от едва заметных до ощутимых. Один отзыв отмечает, что со временем впечатление слегка ухудшается, другой, наоборот, повысил оценку после повторного знакомства.

Compared to all other 10y sherry bottlings this would be my Nr2 bottling behind Palo Cortado. The Fino Cask is giving a very interesting almost refreshing character to Springbank. Its definetely worth its money

It's very distinctive; the Fino cask imparts a particularly prominent slightly acidic and dry sensation, which, combined with Genting's classic minerality and subtle smokiness, makes for a clean, robust, and not-too-sweet drink. Those who enjoy Genting casks should definitely give it a try!

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	88	The aroma is robust and full-bodied, opening with a rich sweetness of brown sugar and maple syrup, interwoven with the vibrant acidity of fresh cherry and homemade sour grapes. Upon deeper inhalation, the signature subtle smokiness and a hint of sea salt emerge, achieving a perfect balance between sweet and sour and salty smokiness, resulting in a clean and sophisticated aroma.
Вкус	88	The wine is full-bodied and firm on the palate. The initial bursts of green grape skin and the sweet and sour notes of dark berries unfold, and after a thorough chewing, the distinct acidity and astringency become apparent, followed by a clean and crisp minerality that gradually dominates the mouth. It is dry, clear, and not at all cloyingly sweet.
Финиш	87	The finish is of medium length and the style is clean and restrained. A persistent acidity and astringency linger, layered with a signature hint of minerality, culminating in a crisp, dry finish.

Date: 2026/09/08 22:48 Color: Light amber. Aroma: Fermented wheat aroma, slight sour barn smell, candied fruit, dried sour fruit, soft apple sweetness, and a restrained fragrance. Taste: The first taste is salty, like sea salt; followed by a wisp of light smoke. The middle part is the refreshing sweetness of apple juice, clean and not cloying, with a well-balanced alcohol content and no harshness. Aftertaste: The finish is refreshing, sweet, clean, and without any off-flavors.

A good 10-year-old Springbank, nothing more and nothing less. Not unlike its two predecessors in the series. Of the three, I liked the Palo Cortado best. I haven't tried the PX yet. This one has an intense mineral, almost metallic note that bothers me. I've experienced something similar with some Glen Scotias. Certainly not something you'd call a flaw, just not my cup of tea. Even at the issue price, it's not a buy for me.

Interesting nose. Slightly sherry-fruity. Light funk. Unique... delicious. Then, in the mouth, a delicious, woody, leathery sensation. Thankfully, not a typical modern wet cask whisky. Unfortunately, a bit too much alcohol. Is that youth/old age? In direct comparison to the Springbank 12 (100% ex-bourbon), it's noticeably more alcoholic and harsher. My tasting order was Springbank 12 -> Springbank 10 Fino. This makes the ABV much better integrated in the 12-year-old than in the 10-year-old. The sherry fruit notes and the leathery character also remain in the taste. Light smoke. On the dry side. Lingers in the mouth for a very long time. This one can also handle water. Why do many modern young whiskies of a similar age have 60%+ ABV, but these two don't? I find that pleasing... This is nitpicking. I've had sherry whiskies that were 5-19 years older that were harsher (in terms of alcohol) and therefore more unpleasant. Delicious, and for me, more delicious than many sherry smokers. Even tastier than many "modern" sherry whiskies. Here too... points follow... It won't be my absolute favorite. The high prices they're asking make the whisky less than appealing.

Warm nose, blood orange, sweet and sour, leather, tobacco, red fruit including cherries and plums, carob chocolate—that Springbank funk is present! On the palate, we find cuberdons, orange marmalade, tobacco, juicy, lemon, mineral, honey, and rusty nails. Oh boy, a long finish, licorice, salt, oyster juice, and black peppercorns. Just perfect!

markjedi1 Connoisseur 89 15 mar 2026 3:36 pm

Excellent Springbank has already bottled some nice things in their Sherry Wood range. I previously tasted the Palo Cortado and the Madeira expressions. Today, the Fino Cask Matured is in the glass. This Springbank matured for the first 4 years in refill bourbon and then another 6 years in Fresh Fino casks. Nice color, indeed. The nose opens with some tropical fruits like peach, pineapple, papaya, and blood orange, but is soon complemented by notes of snuff and decaying wood, roasted almonds, and something that reminds me of the earthen floor in a warehouse. The whole thing is wrapped in a burlap sack. Excellent nose. On the tongue, it is all a bit darker, if you know what I mean. Also pleasantly spicy with white pepper and calamari, while suddenly revealing a surprising saltiness. Even a hint of red fruit (raspberries and pomegranate). A drop of honey and a drop of balsamic vinegar. Late caramel comes in to sweeten things up. Excellent, once again. In the medium-long finish, the fruit returns in full glory, with peach and papaya leading the way, followed by candied orange peel. The spiciness lingers pleasantly and keeps your mouth warm. You'd become a Springbank fan for less. Thank you, Manny!

Нос	90	The initial savory flavor upon pouring is somewhat ambiguous, seemingly a blend of Springbank's inherent sea breeze notes and the biological saltiness imparted by the Fino casks, accompanied by hints of salty cheese, smoke, pepper, and wood, with a hint of baked apple from a distance. As it decans, Springbank's classic fermented wheat, honey, and ripe mango flavors emerge, with subtle touches of paint and tobacco.
Вкус	89	Lightly peaty, nectar, crème brûlée, dried mango, sweet cream, slightly salty; as the wine decanters, the creamy chocolate flavor becomes more pronounced.
Финиш	89	Long-lasting nectar, sweet orange, creamy popcorn, roasted malt, minerals

A surprisingly dark whisky for a Fino cask, likely more heavily toasted. Aromas of vanilla, pears, plums, ash, tobacco, a hint of pickle, and honeycomb. The taste is very tart and sharp, with plenty of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and liqueur. The finish is tobacco, light peat, green tea, toffee, nettle, angelica, and a slight saltiness. The alcohol is strongly noticeable.

A generous sherry, with notes of redcurrant, marzipan, and raspberry jelly. Brown sugar, maple syrup, and melting chocolate. Vibrant citrus aromas: blood oranges, grapefruit, warm beeswax, heather honey, and some herbaceous notes of reeds and bushes. Iodine adds a lovely breadth. A touch of smoky peat. On the palate, it's very oily, spicy, with egg yolk, greengage plums, vanilla, varnished wood, lacquer, clove, and cumin. The finish is long and deep, waxy, with macerated raisins, Aosta ham, hawthorn, dark tobacco, charcoal, black earth, and caramel. This time, I must say, this one is clearly weaker than its two predecessors in terms of the palate. I compared them. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2026/07/springbank-2015-fino-cask-matured-10-yo.html

A wonderful balance between the classic maritime and "dirty" Campbeltown characteristics and the fruitiness of the Fino cask. A delicately creamy accentuation of all kinds of dried fruits such as figs, dates, and raisins. This is complemented by a wonderful variety of subtle garden spices and herbs. Once again, truly successful and, as always, supported by an impeccable distillate...

(Short notes during the Springbank online tasting on January 29, 2026) (4y Bourbon, 6y Fino Cask) Pleasantly gritty and pungent on the nose, with subtle sherry cask aromas, fitting for Fino, which generally isn't overly intense. It tastes dry, with notes of red currants and a touch of smoke that becomes more pronounced after a sip. Makes a very good first impression. It starts on the tongue with Kinder em-eukal (cherry), red currants, strawberries, not too dry. It gives me the impression that the Springbank character and Fino Casks harmonize quite well together. 89/88/88 = 88/100

S 7 Slightly lossing the point here, the cask seems to dominates the SB distillate. The final product is nice and well-rounded, but I'm looking for a bit more SB characters here. Is it better than the regular ten? I'd say it's just different directions. After all, this series is to showcase Sherry cask finishes on SB distillate.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	85	Creamy nosefeel, immediately the impression of dry Sherry. Figs, sultanas, prunes. A whiff of menthol, vanilla, and warm sour beer acidity. Now in the middle, more dried red fruits - cranberries, cherries, raspberries. Raw cashews. The base is a little more syrupy, with a whiff of metallic note. Peat is nowhere to be found. A whiff of coastal breeze with honey as it breathes, getting increasingly salty until a whiff of earthy peat emerged.
Вкус	85	Very active Fino cask here. Cotton candy drizzled with red berries syrup. Smouldering cedar wood. A pinch of pink salt. Minerals. The ginger and chili flakes hit and almost immediately escaped.
Финиш	86	Long, moderately dry finish. The red fruits impression continues and mixed well with the drying oak plus a touch of garden mint.

This is a good example of why people make a fuss over Springbank - a deceptively easy to drink dram as it's so well put together, I think you'd only realise how much you've had when you try and stand only to fall over. Well worth the original rrp - not sure I'd pay what some people are trying to charge.

Нос	87	A pleasant sour note on the nose - like old bandages and iodine, a touch of nuts and then a hint of star anise - a proper journey in a glass.
Вкус	88	A nice body in terms of mouthfeel as there is a bit of chew on it - the taste is hard to describe - school gyms (especially the old exercise mats), a nutty note and a touch of old toffees perhaps. The alcohol is well intergrated - a really good dram.
Финиш	87	The main finish is medium, although the wy it coats the mouth lingers for a while - there is a hint of ginger at some point, a gentle warmth.

Just a 4cl sample, good whisky but outrageously priced for a mere 10 year-old, as is often the case with Springbank. I take more enjoyment out of of the 10-OB, but I would not say no to a bottle of this either.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	85	Quite interesting here. The usual farmy and lightly industrial Springbank character is leaning here more on a herbal direction with a more burnt type of smoke. Despite the fino casks, I sense less sweetness, while still getting unripe red fruit sourness and juiciness. Quite alcoholic neat, needs water and more time, which brings out more farmy notes, more balance, more fragrant oils (wood and barley), more leathery complexity, more burnt forest notes. I like it, but it is indeed a bit rough.
Вкус	86	More Springbank on the palate, a good thing of course. Way sweeter here, both honey-malt from the distillate and way more articulate sherry notes. Great texture, as is the case with all Springbanks I've tried. Aromatic oils, sweeter smoke, leather, herbal red fruit jams, wood spices. Even better here.
Финиш	87	Springbank proves its greatness by means of their finishes IMO, especially considering you are dealing with a young whisky, something consistently unparalleled in modern whisky, as far as my experience goes. Long, balanced, aromatic, harmonizing everything from above in a very articulate manner: sweet smoke, toasted barley, honeyed herbs, raisins from the sherry casks, very engaging wood flavors. The warm smoke lasts longer and gets more bitter and drier as time goes by, but never dominating the finish or annoying the tongue. Great finale.

Brown sugar, fruits. Then smoked, with damp sea salt. Oily and complex, with a balanced blend of fruit and saltiness. Compared to whiskies that lean heavily on cask flavors, this Springing sherry cask also exhibits a strong Springing character. It has a long finish.

Tasting note online on 4 February 2026 on my blog on www.longpouramour.com My conclusion: "A very impressive dram, with a very sweet side that is elevated by the more darker notes, like caramel and chocolate. It works well together. Fino is not the easiest cask to survive, but Springbank was up to the task. This taste like a whisky that could have been distilled in the 1960s or 1970s."

Amber color. Oily structure.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	89	Smooth, structured, and slightly sweet. Hazelnuts. Nougat. Yellow fruit. Apricots and peaches. Salt, but in the perfect amount. Almonds. Spices. An exceptionally subtle smoky-ashy note. Baked apples. Oranges. Orange peel. Tangerines. Cinnamon. Apples dusted with cinnamon. Almond flakes. On the second nose, pleasant, light vanilla aromas arrive. Then caramel. More sweetness.
Вкус	88	Salt. Lots of salt. Yellow fruit. Peaches, but salted. Minerality. Hazelnuts. Almonds. Walnuts. Loads of salt. Salted caramel, but very salty. Spices. White pepper. Ginger. Ashes and dirt underneath. A dying fire. Quite an oily texture. Better on the second sip, still plenty of salt, but less than the first. More spice.
Финиш	88	Salt. Hazelnuts. Minerality. Salty caramel. More nuts than on the tongue. Almonds. Walnut. A touch of oak. Dark chocolate. Cocoa. A burnt effect. A dying bonfire. Long finish.

Dry, Salty / saline, Mineral, Green apple, High acidity, White wine (Sauvignon Blanc), Cris, Linear, Light funk (restrained), Coastal, Refined/polished, Wine-driven

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	87	Dry and coastal, with a pronounced saline edge. Mineral and slightly austere, showing green apple acidity and a crisp white wine character, reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc. The classic Springbank funk is present, but noticeably restrained, resulting in a cleaner and more refined profile.
Вкус	89	Dry, sharp and linear. Salty and mineral-driven, with green apple and a firm acidity at the core. The fino influence softens the usual springbank funk, making it feel more polished and “worked on,” while still retaining a subtle underlying character. Crisp and slightly pointed.
Финиш	88	Medium /long finish. Dry, saline and mineral, with lingering green apple peel and a clean, wine-like acidity. Refined and structured rather than rustic.

I think this Whisky wasn't as successful as Palo Cortado was...As many know, it is difficult to work these barrels (Fino) and obtain a great whisky, however there are good examples, such as Kavalan Fino.

on first try, i see this eye to eye with the Amontillado release, really nice "finish"

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2026/01/13/bwc-2025-springbank/ N: Coconut, dried fruits,… the fino shows immediately which is most welcomed at this moment in time, working rather well in context/position in our flight on the night. A ‘sherrsky’, it’s a fino bomb, so no rubbery ‘boing’ issues. T: Fizzy [aided by 55% abv], this has a maturity to it beyond its stated years [say. more 15-16]. Whilst the sherry continues to lead, it does so without harassment. Indeed, there’s an equal determination from grape and grain. F: Spotting the seams isn’t easy, a meeting of minds continuing to the tape. C: Loud and proud, this teeters on the edge and comes through, for some, but could be divisive given all the fino.

Нос	91	Leathery, creamy, yellow fruits /mirabele plum, sultana, cantaloupe, candied papaya/, beewax, salt, behind all the tropical and exotic fruits there is some leather, farminess, light peat smoke, pinch of salt and maritime hidden. Feels creamy and juicy with dryness just in the back of the nose
Вкус	89	Dryish, leather, peat smoke, spiciness, citrus acidity, yellow fruits again, salt, sea minerality,
Финиш	90	Medium to long - drying sensation, peat smoke, salt, juiciness and tropical fruits play second maybe third fiddle here, bit of a chilli heat

Bright, wine-driven freshness replaces typical sherry sweetness, resulting in a refined, well-polished, and unusually elegant Springbank. It may lack what some consider “classic Springbank funk,” but for those who enjoy dry, acidic, and cider-like profiles, this is a deeply satisfying experience.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	88	Alcohol prickle is minimal for the ABV, and the volume is impressive for a 10-year-old. Bright white peach and honeydew melon lead, accompanied by a lively, positive acidity and a distinctly yeasty, sourdough-like aroma. Floral notes reminiscent of pink blossoms, wet moss, gentle sweetness like cotton candy, and soft nutty tones all appear naturally balanced, with nothing feeling excessive. Lightly brewed black tea, vanilla, and coconut appear subtly in the background. There is a faint metallic hint, like holding a bare iron bar, a fleeting touch of smoked salmon–level smokiness, and a light layer of spearmint. Among all Springbanks I’ve tried, this feels the least funky, the most polished, and one of the most enjoyable nosing experiences.
Вкус	87	Medium-bodied, very waxy, with fine, tingling texture. Sharp acidity reminiscent of quince, lime, and Chardonnay strikes first. This is followed by clove, licorice, and balloon flower root—bitter-herbal elements with gentle underlying sweetness—supported by a pinch of refined salt, chimney-soot smokiness, and hints of sourdough bread. As it coats the palate, quince, white wine acidity, clove, and smoke persist, joined by subtle licorice sweetness, light black tea, faint metallic notes, and a touch of iodine. Overall sweetness is low and the profile is distinctly dry, yet the structure never feels lacking thanks to the firm, positive acidity and restrained herbal bitterness. A rare example of a dry whisky that feels complete, engaging, and highly refined.
Финиш	87	Long and fairly intense. Retro-nasally, white peach, Champagne-like notes, and licorice dominate, followed by soot-like smoke, iodine, clove, black tea, and faint nutty tones. On the palate, Chardonnay-like acidity, clove, and lime lead, with licorice, quince, smokiness, light black tea, and iodine lingering gracefully.

great great whisky, love its fruity and salty notes at the same time. it would be much higher if this wasn't sold for 300 euros. edit: after 2 months, it grew more on me (and the bottle too) 87 to 89 points.

Springbank 10 YO, 55% ABV, destylacja 07.2015 a butelkowanie 23.10.2025, 4 lata w beczkach ponownego napełnienia po bourbonie i 6 lat w świeżych po Sherry Fino. 11400 butelek. Ocena: 88/88/88. Solidna pozycja, bardzo ciekawa i złożona pod względem doznań - potrafi i odświeżyć ale także i dać odpowiedniej słodyczy, a to wszystko z torfem wraz z dymem.Na nosie siarka charakterystyczna dla SB jest subtelna, za to języku już daje się we znaki.

Нос	87	Nos: gorzka czekolada, kakao, miód, czerwone, przejrzałe owoce, winogrona, sól morska, subtelna siarka, a w oddali dym.
Вкус	88	Język: pokrywa się z nosem, z tym, że czuć tutaj dużo wytrawności oraz odświeżenia mineralno-cytrusowego z pikami chili oraz siarki.
Финиш	88	Finisz: długi, szczypiący, pozostawiający balsamiczny pyłek pszczeli wraz z przenikającą ziemistością torfu.
