The vintage aging duration is not indicated. The aroma was quite fresh with lemon and vanilla cream, alongside strong barley and peat notes. Upon tasting, it had a more refined impression than the aroma, with a slightly concentrated fruitiness that provided a satisfying bite. The barley's umami and peat were also perceived as strong, with an oily and long-lasting finish. This is likely a peaty Springbank from the 1990s, leaning towards Longrow. The concentrated fruity notes are a preferred flavor and left a favorable impression.
