Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 맑은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 타고 길게 흘러내린다. 코끝으로 가져가면 캠벨타운 특유의 기름진 짠기와 바닐라, 마른 풀향이 차례로 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 54.5도의 힘이 혀를 감싸고 버번 캐스크의 꿀과 시트러스가 번진다. 24년 숙성이 빚은 두께가 입안을 채우며 천천히 삼키면 옅은 그을음과 소금기가 길게 남는다. 스프링뱅크 1996의 단단한 개성이 끝까지 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
beautifully clean yet complex at first nosing, extremely pure, with notes of fresh butter, flowers from the fields (our beloved dandelions), beeswax and other waxes (no paraffin that is) and then straighter fruity notes (strawberries and quite some tangerines), with also a little peat smoke. It’s very natural and maybe a tad old-style (make that traditional), which is an asset in our opinion. Absolutely no obvious wood treatment
restaurant Palate
very good ‘nervousness’, sweet, fruity (the notes of coconuts are back!), getting even fruitier over time (strawberry syrup, marshmallows). Also these very peculiar notes of overripe oranges and leather that are only to be found in Springbank or Longrow, rather discrete here. Good whisky
timer Finish
medium long, with a little salt and hints of olive oil that add to its complexity. Oak, Turkish delights and oranges
