Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
2007년에 46도로 병입된 프라이빗 보틀링이며, 셰리 리필 호그스헤드가 남긴 흔적이 향에서 부드럽게 비친다. 노즈에서는 꿀과 꽃가루의 결이 가장 먼저 잡히고 마른 살구와 건포도가 그 뒤를 받친다. 팰럿은 꿀 계열의 단맛 위에 훈제 햄 같은 짭짤한 육향이 얹히는 구성으로 발전한다. 스피어민트와 버베나, 팔각의 허브 결이 단맛을 정리하며 균형이 단단하게 잡힌다. 피니시는 멘톨과 레몬, 옅은 소금기로 정돈되어 마무리된다.

there are not massive differences between 'modern' and 'older' Springbanks, while there are at many other famous Distilleries, as we all know. It's true that their equipment hasn't changed since the Flintstones. In this very case, we do detect similar coastal notes as in the Sansibar, perhaps a little less ashes and soot, but that could be some sherry casks.. Now what's rather typical of these 1960s and even early 1970s Springbanks is this superb honeyness. Heather honey for sure, pollens, nectar, then raisins and dried apricots, old late-harvest white wines, the best sweet Tokaji…

we'll keep this short. All things honeys, plus moist cakes (biscuits in champagne), raisins of all kinds – never too sweet – then a meatiness (sweet ham) and various old herbal liqueurs. Wormwood, star anise, spearmint, verbena, lemon balm and all those small pleasures of life
timer Finish
medium long and unexpectedly mentholy, with even more verbena as well. Lemon, some sweet earthiness and some chartreuse in the aftertaste, with a little salt, and then a honeyed final signature
