Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
백포도주빛에 가까운 옅은 색이 잔에 맑게 남는다. 놀랍게도 피트의 일부가 열대 과실로 변해 망고와 패션프루트의 향이 먼저 피어오르고 그 아래 백묵과 그을음, 마른 연기의 층이 단단히 받친다. 입안에서는 백묵을 문지른 듯한 레몬과 훈연한 자몽이 이어지고 파라핀 같은 기름기가 스프링뱅크의 서명을 남긴다. 작은 병에 담긴 여덟 해의 여운은 뜻밖에 길고 짜다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
well, hard to say, as in this one, a part of the peatiness transformed into these stunning tropical fruits that can also be found in Laphroaig and Bowmore bottled at the time. Mangos and maracujas, all that. But beyond that very tropical layer of aromas, the cores seem to be similar, chalky, mineral, sooty, smoky… But this little Glens Extra is really brilliant
restaurant Palate
this is where the Kilkerran wins, by a small margin. Not that the Springer is weaker, or not just superb, it’s simply got this paraffiny je-ne-sais-quoi that Springbank sometimes had and that’s not always totally pleasant. Other than that, it’s perfect. Chalky lemons, smoky grapefruits, and some kind of ‘green soot’
timer Finish
surprisingly long, and just as salty as the Kilkerran’s
