Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 지푸라기빛 술을 벽에 얇게 입히고 코를 가져가면 과일 대신 미네랄과 파라핀, 그을음이 먼저 다가온다. 계속 맡으면 갓 깐 헤이즐넛이 놀랄 만큼 또렷하고, 그 뒤로 분필과 바닷모래, 포도주 식초 같은 산미가 스친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 43도라는 숫자가 무색할 만큼 기름지고 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 레몬과 구스베리, 그을린 연기가 올라온다. 삼킨 뒤에는 후추와 소금기가 길게 남아 증류액 자체의 힘을 증명한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
very different. It’s also got this mineral side, the waxes and the paraffin, or the sootiness, but it hasn’t got any fruits this time, not even lemon. So it’s rather drier, leafier for sure, with plenty of fresh hazelnuts. I don’t think I’ve ever found this much fresh hazelnut in any whisky. It’s no big aroma, but when there’s plenty, it feels. More and more chalk after that, and a little beach sand. Perhaps one drop of wine vinegar, which goes well in this context
restaurant Palate
oh yes, same fatness, same oiliness, same bigness. It’s to be wondered if Springbank couldn’t bottle at 12% vol., just like wine, and remain very good. Grape pip oil, some lemon this time, some chalk again, soot, angelica, gooseberries that kind of lift it, and this sooty smokiness again. Superb again, perhaps just a tad less ‘wow’ than its older bro
timer Finish
long, with more pepper and lemon, and always the same sooty/waxy smoke. And this salt in the aftertaste. What a distillate!
