[Good/Very Good] This Springbank 12 Year Old, in an official ceramic bottle, is believed to have circulated in the 1970s. The condition is good with a pleasant old feel. It has a fragrant, floral aroma typical of malt whisky, and distinctive nuances such as the strawberry jam-like scent and brininess are clearly perceptible. The gentle barley notes, accompanied by a texture that lingers on the tongue, are reminiscent of old standards and left a pleasant impression with an intoxicating finish. While it can be difficult to distinguish between bottles that have lost volume or are in poor condition, fortunately, I have never come across a dud bottle of this kind at Yurakucho or at home. It had a familiar and stable deliciousness.
