Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밀짚빛이 잔 안쪽에 옅게 배어 있다. 정향과 주니퍼의 매운 향이 쓴 오렌지와 자몽 위로 먼저 솟고 그 아래로 부싯돌과 분필 같은 미네랄이 넓게 깔린다. 여름비가 지난 농가의 흙내가 스치듯 지나가는 점이 이 보틀링의 개성이다. 46도의 입안은 금귤과 진저 토닉, 데운 버터의 부드러움이 뒤섞이며 시가 담뱃잎의 먼지 같은 결을 남긴다. 여운은 중간 길이로 뿌리채소와 쓴 오렌지의 기운이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
very nice! Starts almost as spicy and assertive as more recent Springbanks can be, with huge notes of cloves and juniper on top of bitter oranges and grapefruits, then a rather big minerality (gunflints, chalk, clay), faint whiffs of coal and wood ashes, and finally that pleasantly dirty farminess that sometimes comes with the package (dusty farmyard after a heavy summer rain- whatever!). I like this nose a lot, even – or maybe because – it’s a little understated
restaurant Palate
as often with the distillery’s recent outputs, the attack is a tad ‘shaky’ and guess what, I like that! Oranges and kumquats, ginger tonic and Campari, warm butter and sour cream, all that at the same time! More and more bitter oranges after that, a faint dustiness (cigar tobacco) and finally something vegetal, between celeriac and salsify. Very, very entertaining whisky, kind of anti-classical if I may say so
timer Finish
medium long, still on vegetables and bitter oranges
