Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌리면 옅은 밀짚빛이 유리 안에서 얇게 퍼진다. 코를 가져가면 짓이긴 풀과 점토, 분필 냄새가 앞서고 기름 밴 공구용 헝겊 같은 인상이 뒤를 따른다. 54.6도를 한 모금 머금으면 양모와 연고, 오래된 동전의 금속성이 혀를 스치고 물을 더하면 젖은 곡물과 채소 수프, 아니스가 열린다. 삼킨 뒤에는 후추와 짠맛, 점토의 감촉이 중간 길이로 남는 우드 익스프레션이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
funny how these batches start to come across as pretty 'old fashioned' these days; it's certainly from the 'less likely' era of production at Springbank with all these impressions of crushed greenery, swimming pool water, clay, chalk and oily toolbox rags. What's good though is that it still feels rather 'Springbank' and not totally swamped by overt rum. With water: peppery and still very much on clay and mineral oils, but I can't help but find it overall a tad flat
restaurant Palate
a bit funny really, on sheep wools, clays, ointments, old metal coins, metal polish and slightly sooty and cardboardy qualities. It's ok, but I'm not too sure… with water: a feeling of plainness now almost, with these notes of wet grains, vegetable soup, some aniseed, some more clay, perhaps a glimmer of medicine
timer Finish
medium, quite peppery, a tad salty and more clay and chalk
