Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 캠벨타운 특유의 짭조름한 광물성이 가장 먼저 두드러지며 1969 빈티지 26년 버번 캐스크 숙성에서 비롯된 마른 풀잎과 밀랍, 옅은 밀크 캐러멜이 뒤따라 발전한다. 팰럿은 51.7도의 알코올 무게가 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 진한 토피와 잘 익은 시트러스, 가벼운 오일리 텍스처가 명확하게 드러난다. 스프링뱅크 특유의 짠맛과 단맛 사이 구조감이 단단하게 유지된다. 피니시는 매우 길고 건조하며 짠 미네랄과 마른 시트러스 껍질, 옅은 밀랍이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
foo, what a nose! Starts on avalanches of dried fruits, jams and honeys and gets then beautifully drier, much more on leather polish and tobacco, with some smoke in the background and a little metal polish/old tool. Also something curiously medicinal that hints at Longrow – but Longrow didn’t exist at the time, did it. With water: totally wonderful, with this old-style medicinal profile growing bigger. Old embrocations and secret potions, mint, camphor, antiseptic… and cranberries!
restaurant Palate
a very creamy-jammy attack, absolutely wonderful and very ‘old Springbank’, with these curious medicinal notes that are not to be found anywhere else. Something like cough syrup mixed with lemon juice… Goes on with bags of bitter oranges, caraway seeds, cardamom, bitter almonds, a little olive oil… Truly wonderful. With water: in the same vein but with more liqueurs and fine spices, it becomes almost oriental
timer Finish
long, with this stunning spiciness. For the thousand and one nights?
