Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1958년 증류해 1995년에 병입한 이 위스키는 노즈에서 스프링뱅크 특유의 기름진 결 위에 제비꽃과 라벤더를 닮은 꽃향이 얹혀 있어 이례적이다. 훈연 차와 파이프 담배, 구두약이 조용히 층을 이룬다. 팰럿은 엘더베리 시럽과 제네피 리큐어, 압생트를 연상시키는 약초 계열로 발전하며 호두 기름과 감초 나무가 금속성 결을 남긴다. 40.6도의 도수는 낮지만 개성은 뚜렷하다. 피니시는 길고 멘톨과 훈연, 소금기가 또렷하다.
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
