Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Ho-cheng's Springbank 10yo 'Cuvee' (46%, Murray McDavid, MM0406, 1224 Bottles) was a marriage of a fresh sherry cask from 1965 (!) and a bourbon cask from 1993. Since British law requires the label to indicate the age of the youngest whisky in the vatting, we arrive at an age statement of 'only' ten years. Weird, eh?
Nose: Big and fruity with a slightly sour overtone. Then some sherry, then organics. Candyish. Polished. Complex. Very well crafted. More 'bourbon' than 'sherry', though. Well, at least at first. After ten minutes the sherry influence starts to reveal itself.
Organics are growing stronger and stronger. Another malt that needs some time.
Taste: Fairly weak start. Firms op towards the centre, but drops off again. Very dry. Nothing special on the palate, I'm afraid. Not unlike a grittier version of the 10yo OB. However, given time it definitely grew on me. A cool, fruity freshness with balls.
Score: 84 points . I first had it in the upper 80's at first based on the fabulous nose. Then it dropped to somewhere close to 80 points, before the palate picked up a bit.
I wonder why they made this vatting. Did the old sherry cask drop below 40%? I'm usually suspicious of these kinds of experiments, but this one works well.
