Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
코끝에 가져가면 깊은 금빛 술에서 마른 오렌지 껍질과 기계유, 시가 연기가 올라온다. 계속 맡으면 외양간과 젖은 흙, 오래된 와인 저장고 냄새에 생강빵과 박하가 겹쳐 층이 계속 늘어난다. 52.3도를 머금으면 예상 밖의 피트가 검은 체리와 블러드 오렌지, 크랜베리와 힘겨루기를 벌인다. 물을 더하면 연기 입은 오렌지가 선명하다. 1997년 증류액을 셰리 통에서 17년 재운 이 보틀링은 삼킨 뒤에도 풍성함이 가시지 않는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
makes you want to find some spare £1,675.00. It’s dry, it’s orangey, it’s definitely oily and mineral and it’s absolutely Springbank. Complex touches of cow stable, orange zests, camphor, motor oil, cinchona, cigar smoke, plain cigars, sugar cane, gingerbread, crème de menthe, damp earth, old wine cellar… I guess that’s what some may call a ’multi-layered malt’! With water: extraordinary now. Gamy, leathery, spicy and even more Habano-like. I mean, an unlit Lusitania from an old well-kept cabinet (whatever!)
restaurant Palate
ho-ho-ho-ho, this is so unusual… To be honest, it’s more Longrow than Springbank at this stage, because there’s quite some peat wrestling with the unusual fruitiness that should come from the Port, between black cherries, blood oranges and cranberries. Superb development on bitter oranges and nutmeg. Wow. With water: please call the anti-maltoporn brigade! In fact, it’s rather less complex than on the nose but these smoky oranges are perfect
timer Finish
long, quite rich and perfect
