Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 살짝 흔들면 기름기 어린 술이 벽을 타고 느리게 미끄러진다. 코를 가져가면 제비꽃과 라벤더를 스친 꽃향이 먼저 오고 훈연한 차와 파이프 담배, 구두약이 뒤를 잇는다. 한 모금 머금으면 엘더베리 시럽과 압생트 같은 허브 리큐어의 결이 퍼지고 호두 기름과 감초 뿌리의 금속성이 그 아래를 받친다. 삼키면 멘톨의 청량함에 연기와 소금기가 얹혀 아일라를 떠올리게 하는 1958년의 스프링뱅크다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
oh this is unusual. It’s got the trademark greasiness for sure, but it’s also got unexpected floral scents, maybe even wee whiffs of violets, or maybe even lavender. But nothing to do with the repulsive lavender that could be found elsewhere, this is all very elegant again. Other than that, it’s rather more phenolic than the 1969, but it’s all quite whispering and, yes, refined. A little smoked tea, some light pipe tobacco, a little shoe polish, hints of burnt cake, old chardonnay, a small stalk of celery (perhaps)… All that is hugely complex
restaurant Palate
another world after the 1969, this has more stamina, more individuality, and some flavours are almost nowhere else to be found in my meagre experience. For example, these notes of elderberry syrup, or genepy liqueur, or light absinth… Maybe there’s more OBE here, but what a glory! And the metallic side is here as well, the shoe polish, the walnut oil, the liquorice wood… Please call them, I mean, the anti-maltoporn brigade! Thank you
timer Finish
quite long and beautifully sappy and mentholated, with more smoke and salt in the aftertaste. Almost an Islay in the aftertaste
