Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스타키커라는 이름으로 나온 1995년 21년 숙성으로, 프레시 셰리 파이프의 영향이 향 전반에 배어 있다. 노즈는 오래된 와인 저장고와 포도 과즙, 소금기가 먼저 서고 기계유와 젖은 바위의 뉘앙스가 뒤를 받친다. 48도의 팰럿은 마데이라처럼 건조하고 짭짤한 가죽의 결이 앞서며 강황과 오렌지 껍질, 구운 피스타치오가 이어진다. 피니시는 길고 육포 같은 감칠맛과 가죽이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
It does feel like we’re nosing an old wine loft. Lots of grape must, salinity, engine grease, plasticine, wet rocks, sheep wool, pollen and dry roasted nuts. Big, classical Springbank that also shows aspects of soot, lemon rind, tiger balm and - indeed - some rather old dry Madeira! Pretty superb
restaurant Palate
the madeira adds a dry, salty and leathery edge. Underneath there’s some pretty deep, fatty earthy qualities. Turmeric, orange peel, some very old Calvados and roasted pistachios. Garden fruits glazed with golden syrup alongside, Somerset ice cider, waxes and hessian cloth. Unusual yet very good. Different yet very much still Springbank
timer Finish
long, leathery and very meaty with notes of various stocks and cured meats. Gets a tad dirtier in the aftertaste but it’s more along natural lines than artificial
