Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 과일을 거의 내주지 않고 광물성과 왁스, 파라핀, 그을음으로 방향을 잡는다. 무엇보다 생 헤이즐넛의 고소함이 이례적으로 두드러지며 분필과 해변 모래가 뒤를 받친다. 43도의 세라믹 저그 보틀링임에도 팰럿은 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 포도씨유와 레몬, 안젤리카, 구스베리의 산이 균형을 잡는다. 피니시는 길고 후추와 레몬, 왁스 같은 훈연이 이어지며 짠맛이 깊게 머문다.
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!
