Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 사과와 배 같은 곡물성 과일 노트가 먼저 잡히고 미네랄이나 연기는 뒤로 물러나 있다. 젖은 판지와 불린 곡물, 흐린 커피가 배경을 이루는 46도 병입이다. 팰럿은 완전히 다른 방향으로 전개되어 배 증류주의 날카로움과 무화과, 절인 레몬 껍질, 훈제 생선의 짠기가 뒤섞인다. 피니시는 길고 대담하며 먼지 같은 건조함과 금속성이 남는다. 스프링뱅크 12년 중에서도 해석이 갈리는 이례적인 배치다.
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
