Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 들어 올리면 석회암과 갓 자른 고무, 석탄 먼지의 냄새가 한꺼번에 밀려온다. 파라핀과 그을음 사이로 레몬이 곧게 서며 오크의 개입은 거의 느껴지지 않는다. 56.2도를 한 모금 머금으면 깨끗하면서도 기름진 질감이 혀를 감싸고 생강의 매움과 수액 같은 송진, 요오드의 약 기운이 차례로 지나간다. 삼키면 광물과 레몬의 쌉쌀함이 아주 길게 이어지는 열두 해의 스프링뱅크다.

air Nose
aaah… I’m a chick finding its mother again. Rarely has raw, natural, virtually unoaked malt whisky been so immediately impressive. You just have to like limestone, fresh rubber, coal dust, paraffin, soot, lemon, and leatherette in your whisky. We’ll be quick, rather bizarrely, this baby reminds me of the latest Kilkerran bourbon. As if they had tried to replicate old-school Springbank… Dear Springbank, was that what you’ve tried to do? If you did, success success!
restaurant Palate
astoundingly clean, yet oily, mineral, yet lemony, almost fat, yet bright and ‘jumpy’, massive, yet fresh, sappy and resinous, always with these lovely gingery touches (ginger can be either great or a nightmare in whisky, IMHO), and a smoky sootiness combined with iodine and a few medicinal touches. Mineral camphor, does that exist? It’s an exceptional palate, everything’s perfect
timer Finish
long, magically herbal, a little bitter again (like the old solera), very mineral, and marvellously lemony. Which, naturally, adds zing and freshness to the finish. I think too many distillers don’t care much for the finishes of their whiskies, if I may
