Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 살짝 기울이면 깊은 호박빛이 잔 안으로 천천히 미끄러진다. 코끝을 가져가면 캠벨타운 특유의 짠 미네랄과 가죽 향이 먼저 다가오고 1966 로컬 발리의 곡물 단맛이 뒤를 잇는다. 한 모금을 머금으면 31년의 시간이 풍부한 트로피컬 과일과 묵직한 왁스로 혀를 감싼다. 잔이 비워질 무렵이면 캠벨타운 특유의 짠 가죽 향이 잔에 길게 남는다. 53도의 스프링뱅크를 삼키면 부르봉 오크 통이 남긴 코코아와 짭짤한 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
another story all about honeys, flowers, waxes, pollens, deep layers and sublime concentration. The fruits here feel more crystallised and preserved in style, also a wonderfully textural impression of jellied green and yellow fruits. Gloopy, fat, gelatinous old Springbank that brims with a sense of body and texture. With water: hot house flowers, pollens, aged mead and camphor. A very heady and rather assertive floral quality but also eucalyptus, tobacco and quince - wonderful complexity now
restaurant Palate
great attack, all on aged teas, preserved citrus rinds, a rather brittle waxiness and suggestions mineral salts, lanolin, herbal medicines and wood extracts. It is beautiful but I would say the wood is ever so slightly too much, if we're really splitting hairs. That said, this is still stunning and drenched in honeys and nectars. With water: many more fruits with water, orange marmalade with spices, tangerine, peaches in syrup. At times it would make you think of one of these stunningly fruity old Vallein Tercinier Cognacs. The wood is quieter now and there's more exotic fruit teas, melon liqueur and honeys once again
timer Finish
long, warming, on honeycomb, sandalwood, lightly smoked teas such as lapsing souchong and touches of camphor once again
