Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 캠벨타운 특유의 옅은 소금기와 기름진 보리 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 1985년에 병입된 12년 스프링뱅크답게 셰리나 강한 피트의 개입 없이 담백한 곡물 단맛과 견과가 중심을 잡는다. 팰럿에서는 43도의 부드러운 도수 위로 바닐라와 희미한 그을음이 차례로 발전한다. 피니시는 짭짤한 미네랄과 오크 타닌으로 길게 이어지며, 화려함보다 절제된 구조감이 인상을 남긴다.
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!
