[Urbane Guerrilla]

Now that surgery is long past, pulled the cork on my Springbank 10yo.

Spiritous bite to the nose, otherwise very hard to describe. Unlike any other single malt I've tasted. Sweet intially, like a Speyside, but without the graininess of many Speysides; indeed sweeter on the tongue than those Speysides. Whisky-spirits kind of finish, rather short, but powerful. If there is any peat, I can't find it. That said, there *is* some smoke, just enough to be Scottish I guess -- just not the blatant peatiness of the Islays.

Smooth, sweet, not subtle nor elusive.
Would go damned well with chocolate...
Have not attempted 'opening' it with a few drops of designer water.

While once there were many Campbelltown whiskies, this is one of the two or three survivors, and I believe the largest.
