Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1996년 증류해 2015년에 병입한 이 싱글 캐스크는 노즈부터 광물성과 밀랍이 정면에 나선다. 가죽과 담배, 초석, 구운 밤과 호두가 이어지고 잉크와 먹지를 닮은 건조한 뉘앙스가 배경에 깔린다. 팰럿은 고무와 성냥, 파라핀 같은 스프링뱅크의 상징적 요소가 소금 친 오렌지와 맞물리며 강한 개성을 만든다. 56.1도의 도수는 물을 조금 더하면 리몬첼로 같은 산미로 풀린다. 피니시는 길고 짭짤한 산미가 또렷이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
believe me or not, this is more or less a blend of the two previous ones. That is to say a rather more mineral and waxy Springbank, coated with some rounder, more raisiny aromas. Leather, mud, tobacco, saltpetre, roasted chestnuts and toasted walnuts, ink, carbon paper, new magazines… You see. With water: rather a pile of old magazines in an old attic. You know, Kennedy shot down, Man on the moon, Vietnam, Jimi Hendrix…
restaurant Palate
great rubber and brake fluid and new tyres and struck matches and paraffin and… salty oranges. In short, the Springbankest of them all. With water: there’s a quality limoncello quality to it once you’ve reduced it. A dirtiness as well, but Springbank ought to be a little dirty, in my opinion
timer Finish
long, with this wonderful wee salty sourness that’s so… idiosyncratic
