Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 캠벨타운 특유의 짭조름한 미네랄과 묵은 가죽 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 36년 숙성이 빚어낸 깊이가 헤더 꿀과 약한 피트 연기, 오래 묵은 오크 폴리시로 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 52.4도의 도수에도 묵직한 단맛이 입을 채우며 말린 자두와 다크 초콜릿이 천천히 발전한다. 1965 빈티지 로컬 발리 특유의 곡물 단맛이 구조감을 단단히 잡아준다. 피니시는 짠 견과와 밀랍의 여운으로 길게 이어지며 균형이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
same whisky as the Miller & Landau, only stronger and perhaps fatter. That means that we’re feeling beehives in the midst of summer, mead, a few yellow flowers, raisins, light toffee (or our beloved box of Werther’s – buy Werther’s instead, that’s cheaper, says someone I know very well), hints of café latte… And behind all this quasi-roundness, a little earth and soot, which is very Springbanky. All is well so far. With water: careful with water, never drown the Local Barleys. In any case, it’s more a drying oak that comes out. Oh drop water
restaurant Palate
once again, we’re extremely close to the Miller & Landau (which could well have been a LB as well). A fat spirit, and yet it’s not exactly heavy, starting on citrus marmalades, raisins, and the same faintly herbal notes yet again, mint, eucalyptus… A little lemon grass as well, drops of honeysuckle tea, then,… wait, yuzu? Really? What’s sure is that it’s all very superb, and rather fresher than expected. It’s even got something of some old Rosebank, but its true that Rosebank wasn’t located very, very far away. With water: swims much better on the palate. Marmalade, drops of limoncello, more golden raisins, more honey…
timer Finish
quite long, more honeyed, but also with rather more notes of cider apples, calvados… Something a little rough
