Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
블랙 라벨을 잔에 따라 돌리면 밀짚빛이 얇게 번진다. 코를 가져가면 장뇌와 밀랍, 갓 만든 마지팬이 먼저 오르고 콜타르와 그을음, 분필가루가 뒤를 받친다. 끝에는 자몽 껍질이 산뜻하게 얹힌다. 한 모금 삼키면 아몬드의 쓴맛과 훈제육, 레몬 커드가 43도의 낮은 도수에도 밀도 있게 퍼지고 소금 친 초콜릿이 그 사이를 메운다. 목을 넘긴 뒤 민트와 아니스, 옅은 고무 향이 짠 뒷맛과 함께 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
well, many older Springbanks were sherried, and this one may well have a wee bit of sherry inside as well, but otherwise it’s totally pure indeed, extraordinarily camphory, waxy, full of fresh marzipan, argan and pumpkin oils, petroly oils, old musty magazines, coal tar, soot, chalk, and then grapefruits as a joyful signature. Fantastic distillery character, full and complex at the same time
restaurant Palate
of course we’d have preferred 46% vol., but this distillate was so rich and characterful that it needed no extra-punch. Wonderful bitterness, almonds, tar, smoked meats, lemon curd, paraffin, a feeling of blue ink (why blue, S.?), salted chocolate, and then a wee mezcaly agave-iness
timer Finish
rather long, with rather more mint and aniseed, a touch of good rubber (very Springbank), and that typical salty aftertaste. I’ve heard they were adding seawater to the barrels just like they were doing at Bowmore – just joking
