Classic Springbank maritime profile with coastal brightness. Merengue sweetness mingles with vanilla and lemon, while almond and linseed oil add a nutty, slightly waxy edge to the aroma.

Sweet, viscous and rounded with notes of honey, custard creme, caramel, nutmeg and black pepper.
Finish
A long, enveloping finish of peat smoke, oak and worn leather.
