Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
화이트와인빛 술을 흔들고 코를 가져가면 그을음과 금속 광택제가 대뜸 얼굴을 들이민다. 이끼와 파라핀, 목공소의 대팻밥과 고인 바닷물이 차례로 열리고 겨자와 와사비의 매운 자극이 뒤를 받친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 55.5도의 소금기와 농축된 라임즙이 혀를 세게 조이고, 후추와 무의 알싸함이 그 뒤를 따라간다. 물을 더해 삼키면 뿌리채소와 쓴 약초가 올라오며, 젊은 스프링뱅크 특유의 마른 긴장감이 레몬 향과 함께 버틴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw/white wine
air Nose
this is what a few fine folks dislike in Springbank, whilst we do love it, soot and metal polish. A lot of moss too, paraffin, old tools and greases, perhaps a few wood shavings from a carpenter's, stale seawater, certainly a little soap and lady's hand cream, some mustard and horseradish, wasabi, petroly riesling… No complains whatsoever this far. With water: paraffin and turpentine up, with clearly some saponification that will last for at least one minute. No problems, this is fun
restaurant Palate
exceptional salt and concentrated lime juice, a few drops of aguardiente to make a wee mojito, some amaro (Montenegro and such), some greasy and sooty matters, some pepper, radish… With water: gets rootier, I'm getting quite some gentian and more bitter drinks, Underberg-style. More salt too
timer Finish
very long, with this wee austerity that we always love in young natural Springbank. Lemon, perhaps a shot of salty dog?
