Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌리면 화이트 와인처럼 옅은 빛이 얇게 퍼진다. 코를 가져가면 물 탄 레몬즙과 곡물, 옅은 연기가 앞서고 오트밀과 진저에일, 은방울꽃이 차례로 열린다. 젖은 돌의 미네랄이 마지막을 정리한다. 한 모금 머금으면 후추를 뿌린 사과즙처럼 시작해 파라핀과 풀즙으로 넘어가고 말린 쓴 오렌지와 훈연차, 커피 토피가 점점 대담해진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 갓 깐 견과의 고소함과 옅은 연기가 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
light – not weak – in style, starting on a mix of diluted lemon juice, grains and smoke. Slight hints of cologne, porridge, ginger ale… Gets then rather flowery (lily of the valley) and even a little perfumy (vetiver, lemon balm) and finally quite mineral (wet stones), with also hints of plastic. Not hugely expressive but quite clean and complex considering it’s only five years old
restaurant Palate
starts rather smoothly, on peppered apple juice, paraffin and something quite herbal (grass juice – ever tried that?) and grows then bolder and more assertive, with quite some dried bitter oranges, mastic sweets, smoked tea and coffee flavoured toffee. Quite mature, I guess the bottle did a good part of the work here. Gets more almondy with time and the finish is frankly nutty (fresh ones) and slightly smoky. It’s not grand single malt but it’s very enjoyable and quite historical, because it shows that the great old Springbanks were probably not only a matter of good cask management. 86 points .
