Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 호그스헤드에서 12년을 보낸 이 우드 익스프레션은 노즈부터 밀도가 대단하다. 프로폴리스와 유칼립투스, 마스틱의 수지 계열이 먼저 두드러지고 아몬드 밀크와 건초, 오래된 책이 뒤를 잇는다. 대추야자와 말린 무화과, 익힌 사과가 층을 더해 마른 과일의 폭이 넓다. 팰럿은 58.5도의 힘에도 크리미하며 감초와 훈연차, 코코넛 리큐어를 지나 전나무 꿀과 박하로 발전한다. 피니시는 대단히 길고 왁스의 결이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
holy cow! Er… excuse me… The first nosing reveals the expected mix of superb waxy and resinous notes with all sorts of dried fruits... So, we have propolis, eucalyptus, tiger balm, mastic, almond milk, fermenting hay (I love these smells), old books (which I cherish as well), very old Calvados, mixed with coconut milk (almost Malibu, erm…), dates, dried figs, Smyrna raisins, cooked apples with cinnamon, mulled wine. Add to that maelstrom some whiffs of sea air and an added layer of pine resin and you should get the whole picture. Simply a thrill, as expected
restaurant Palate
how creamy, how bold and how elegant at the same time. Really punchy, starting on some bold liquorice, smoked tea, coconut liquor again (no name) and hints of gentian eau de vie, Suze… Lots of dried fruits such as bitter oranges, bananas, figs… And then the waxy cohort, with mastic and eucalyptus candies, fir tree honey, mint and liquorice sweets. Great hints of dry sherry, old rancio, sherry spirit, marc de Bourgogne. The development is endless, with kind of a roughness that keeps it from getting a ‘simple’ digestive (or a Club malt). A perfect hipflask malt, to pour your very best friends after a long walk in the mountains. And the finish is endless, very waxy and nicely rummy (‘arranged’ rum?). Okay, enough maltoporn. 95 points . Springbank 12 yo 1991 ‘Bourbon Wood’ (58.5%, OB, 5986 bottles)
