Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
캠벨타운의 명가 스프링뱅크가 오크 캐스크에서 스물아홉 해를 견딘 1965 빈티지다. 깊은 황금빛이 잔에 진하게 어린다. 스프링뱅크 특유의 기름진 질감 위로 짭조름한 바닷내와 잘 익은 과일, 옅은 이탄이 복합적으로 피어오른다. 46도의 입맛은 토피와 시트러스, 소금기가 또렷하게 어우러지며 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 긴 여운에는 미네랄과 밀랍, 그을린 오크가 깊게 머물며 옛 캠벨타운의 깊이를 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
bright gold
air Nose
a perfect lineage, more evident in casks that aren’t too active like this one, even though the Distillery filled plenty of active sherry casks in those vintages. Here we find seawater, putty, old paint pots, ashes, wax, chalk, citrus peels, paraffin, old papers, and even sardines and anchovies
restaurant Palate
it’s crazy, you’d swear it was a 1993, I assure you. Has anything ever changed at Springbank? Paint, tar, paraffin, metallic touches (copper), lemon, petrol, seawater, shellfish (our friends, the whelks) ... Then the expected citrus and just plain apples. Plain but very good apples
timer Finish
of medium length but very consistent, with tar and hints of brine. The putty lingers even into the aftertaste
