Comments:

A choice forced on me by the fact that the whiskies I was really interested in weren't available. A good substitute nevertheless, I've not had a Springbank in a while. This one is atypical, none of those harsher, peatier notes, instead awash with fruit, coffee and toast.

Verdict:

I like this.
