Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
개인 소유의 럼 캐스크에서 16년을 채운 선택이 이 보틀링의 성격을 결정한다. 화이트 와인 같은 옅은 빛깔에 희석한 레몬즙과 곡물, 옅은 연기가 겹치고 은방울꽃과 젖은 돌의 기운이 따라온다. 45.5도의 입안은 후추 뿌린 사과주스와 파라핀으로 시작해 말린 비터 오렌지와 훈연 홍차로 두꺼워지며, 마무리엔 갓 깬 견과의 고소함이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
light – not weak – in style, starting on a mix of diluted lemon juice, grains and smoke. Slight hints of cologne, porridge, ginger ale… Gets then rather flowery (lily of the valley) and even a little perfumy (vetiver, lemon balm) and finally quite mineral (wet stones), with also hints of plastic. Not hugely expressive but quite clean and complex considering it’s only five years old
restaurant Palate
starts rather smoothly, on peppered apple juice, paraffin and something quite herbal (grass juice – ever tried that?) and grows then bolder and more assertive, with quite some dried bitter oranges, mastic sweets, smoked tea and coffee flavoured toffee. Quite mature, I guess the bottle did a good part of the work here. Gets more almondy with time and the finish is frankly nutty (fresh ones) and slightly smoky. It’s not grand single malt but it’s very enjoyable and quite historical, because it shows that the great old Springbanks were probably not only a matter of good cask management. 86 points .
