Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 처음에 다소 엄격하며 풀과 분필 같은 약재, 헤시안 천, 해바라기유가 순서대로 드러난다. 2003년 원액을 2018년에 57.1도로 병입한 싱글 캐스크로, 기계유 같은 금속적 뉘앙스가 배경에 깔린 점이 특징이다. 팰럿은 해안가 스프링뱅크다운 즙기가 살아 있어 기름지고 레몬과 소금기가 강하게 밀고 들어온다. 물을 더하면 후추와 미네랄, 절인 올리브가 발전한다. 피니시는 길고 약재와 타르가 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
slightly austere at first nosing, grass, chalky medicines, hessian, sunflower oil and some encroaching mechanical notes like WD40 and bicycle chains - I suppose that must be the rum speaking. It’s not jarring or loud in any way which is good news I think. With water: easy, lean, mineral, lightly medical and feeling all quite oily and gently coastal. Keeps this slight chalky edge which retains freshness well
restaurant Palate
plenty coastal Springbank juiciness! Very oily, lemony, briny and fatty but also still with these medicinal and mechanical accents. I think in this instance the rum has reached a kind of ‘full integration’ which is great news and works very well. Some cactus, sandalwood, salted honey, brine and camphor. With water: indeed, the oiliness is more emphatic now. Superb salinity, pepperiness (almost Taliskerish) minerals, some herbal infused olive oil, and actual olives in brine too. Some salty liquorice and more sandalwood. Wonderfully fresh, vivid and coastal
timer Finish
Long and focussed on medicines, gauze, soft tarry notes and wee mechanical things like brake fluid or oily old rags
