Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 앰버빛 술을 흔들고 코를 가져가면 미네랄이 앞선 깨끗한 셰리 향이 먼저 다가온다. 이어 수액 같은 피트와 감귤 껍질, 바닷돌과 낡은 밧줄, 갓 잡은 조개 냄새가 차례로 열린다. 49.7도를 한 모금 머금으면 향신료 넣은 오렌지 마멀레이드와 육두구, 캠퍼가 이어지고 마지팬의 단맛이 그 위에 얹힌다. 삼킨 뒤에는 생강 케이크와 간장 같은 감칠맛, 레몬 사탕이 남으며 1996년 증류액의 해안 성격이 다시 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
a rather mineral and clean sherry character which works very well with the pretty chiselled, coastal Springbank distillate style. There’s also some sappy peat, pithy citrus peels, beach pebbles, old rope and various fresh shellfish. Perhaps some blood orange and a toffee crisp as well
restaurant Palate
feels a tad disjointed between the sherry and distillate - which is something I often find with contemporary Springbank in sherry. Lots of spiced orange marmalade, some nutmeg, camphor, stewed fruits, marzipan and things like gauze and light antiseptic. It’s still pretty good though, it must be said
timer Finish
medium-long. Lots of spiced ginger cake, medical notes, umami broth, soy sauce, lemon cough drops and some slightly farmy notes in the distance
