Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래 묵은 시간이 응축된 짙은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 잔잔히 빛을 머금는다. 1966년 증류해 32년을 채운 스프링뱅크 로컬 발리는 잘 익은 살구와 밀랍, 옅은 바닷내음을 차례로 풀어놓는다. 한 모금 머금으면 버번 오크에서 온 바닐라와 곡물의 단맛이 미끄러지듯 번지고, 55.1도의 힘은 뜨겁기보다 둥글게 혀를 감싼다. 캠벨타운 특유의 기름진 질감 위로 오크의 은근한 쌉쌀함이 더해지며 짭조름한 끝맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the first feeling we get at first nosing is complexity. First there’s hints of old sweet wine (Sauternes) and then it’s coal smoke, gunpowder and flints, together with notes of smoked ham and faint hints of truffle. Gets then even smokier, with a little peat, something faintly maritime (sea breeze), roasted nuts, a little cough syrup (eucalyptus), hints of pine needles... More mint after that, wet moss, fern, cigar box… Keeps developing for a very long time, quite kaleidoscopic, with the notes of coal smoke and mint as permanent features. Amazing complexity. With water: keeps developing, this time more on turpentine and game, with even hints of beef stock
restaurant Palate
very big, rich, powerful, exactly cough syrup this time. Eucalyptus, camphor, mint, then ginger, crystallised lemon, pepper… Hints of tannins in the background, and quite some tar as well. Very big. With water: gets more on oranges and other citrus fruits, with a bigger spiciness as well
timer Finish
long, slightly salty, half orangey and half minty. Slight dryness from the wood
