Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 젖은 석회암과 자갈, 부싯돌 같은 미네랄 노트가 명확하게 드러난다. 레몬과 조개껍질, 풀 냄새가 뒤를 받치고 석탄 연기가 배경에 흐른다. 22년 숙성에도 색은 화이트 와인처럼 옅어 리필 버번 배럴의 개입이 최소였음을 보여 준다. 51.8도의 팰럿은 키위와 레몬, 붉은 대황의 산미 위에 분필과 점토가 얹힌다. 피니시는 길고 미네랄과 왁스, 레몬이 선명하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
ooooh… crystal-clean Springbank! This nose is reminiscent of that of the old pale 5yo from the 60s or 70s, really. Wet limestone, gravel, flints, petroleum, lemon, Barbour polish, seashells, grass and coal smokes… I have to say we’ve had other magnificent 1993s, many rather Longrowy. Could be Longrow indeed. With water: yes! That old tweed jacket after many rains, and a pile of all Newsweeks. Right, any magazines
restaurant Palate
not Longrow, this is much fruitier. Kiwis, lemons, red rhubarb, then chalk and clay, a drop of ink, one oyster, and a wee bit of tyre plus a slice of fresh baguette (any breads, really, excusez-moi madame monsieur). Epitomically Springbank. With water: bingo! Don’t just add too much H2O, it needs a lot of time to adapt to reduction and it won’t be ready yet when you’ll go to bed
timer Finish
long, splendidly mineral, waxy, and lemony. That was a brief summary
