Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 사과와 배의 곡물성 과일 향이 가장 먼저 두드러지고 젖은 판지와 물에 불린 보리, 옅은 커피가 뒤를 잇는다. 46도로 병입된 이 스프링뱅크 12년은 미네랄이나 연기보다 생 양모 같은 질감이 앞서는 편이다. 팰럿에서는 배 증류주와 무화과, 설탕에 절인 레몬 껍질이 훈제 생선의 짠기와 맞물린다. 피니시는 길고 대담하며 먼지 같은 건조함과 금속성이 남는다. 창백한 화이트와인 빛깔만큼이나 이례적인 구성이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine (much paler than the ‘white cap’)
air Nose
this one starts a little more spirity and less mature than the white cap, with much more grainy and fruity notes (apples, pears) and much less minerals or smoke. There’s also notes of wet cardboard, soaked grains, very light coffee, apple juice... But the notes of raw wool are here again. Not exactly the same class as the older version I think, even if both start to converge after a good fifteen minutes
restaurant Palate
this is very different again. Big notes of pear spirit, figs, crystallised lemon zests, smoked fish... And then more and more pear spirit. Pears and kippers? Yes, it’s very unusual whisky I think, I can’t think of any other whisky that tasted like this funny CV
timer Finish
longer than the white cap’s, very bold in fact, with these interesting notes of ‘apple juice-soaked kippers’ (sorry about this weird mental image) and a slight dustiness, plus something oddly metallic. Extremely unusual. Again, I’m wondering if they didn’t use to add some Longrow to the CV, even if not to all the batches
