Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 속에 깊게 머무는 마호가니 빛이 1962년의 세월을 짐작케 한다. 32년을 셰리 캐스크에서 보낸 이 스프링뱅크는 무화과와 호두 기름, 오래된 가죽이 천천히 풀려난다. 입에서는 다크 초콜릿과 말린 자두가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 캠벨타운 특유의 짭짤한 미네랄이 중심을 잡는다. 46도의 절제된 도수가 시가 박스의 잔향과 함께 길게 사그라든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
orange – bronze (don’t worry, it’s not plain green)
air Nose
powerful, starting on raisins (sultanas but also Smyrna) and candy sugar. It’s not hugely rich (especially after the 1965 and despite the long pause). Unusual notes of candied citrons and apricots, seaweed (really), lemon-flavoured yoghurt, coconut (is that Springbank or the rum?) The sultanas grow even bolder after a moment, it gets also a little like a marc… Do I like it? Yes, it’s fabulous, even if a little confusing at the start
restaurant Palate
now it’s thick and fat, almost greasy. Lots of nuts, olive oil, sultanas (of course), prunes… It’s not hot but very warming! Crystallised oranges, kumquats, and pineapple, coconut milk, blackcurrant jelly, light caramel, barley water, sugar cane cordial… Amazing! Gets then minty and camphory just like the 1965… And the finish, even if not as long as the 1965’s, is still pretty long, sweeter, more civilized and jammier (lots of oranges). Maybe not as spectacular as the 1965 but still totally fabulous, no wonder this has now become a cult bottle. Can’t you just make the same again in Campbeltown!? I mean, exactly the same… 93 points.
