I was already a fan of Springbank. Something that tastes like an Island whisky from Campbeltown was always a nice one to vary from the peaty and smoky ones. This C.V. is easier than the 10yo. You can smell the smoke and the peat, but it also has a little citrus and a little bit of dried fruits. The taste is a little bit like dark sugar,some caramel, a little bit of orange and then the smoke starts coming in. No really overwhelming smoke but a bit subtle. And yet, that's what lingers and stays on your tongue. Not bad for what's a bit of a budget-version of the 10yo.

Mikey, thanks for making some comparisons to the 10. How else would you distinguish them?
I've had the 10 but not the CV. The CV typically gets average reviews like this one, but if you said it was more vibrant but less complex--kinda like young heavily peated whisky--I'd be all over it. Zippy, briny, Campbeltown-town style whisky is a prime target of mine.
