Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌린 뒤 코를 가져가면 익힌 버터와 크림 소스, 파슬리 같은 낯선 냄새가 먼저 다가온다. 시큼함이 커지며 죽과 레몬즙, 소비뇽 계열 화이트 와인의 기운이 겹치고 마당에서 태운 나뭇불 냄새가 얹힌다. 15분쯤 두고 다시 맡으면 망고와 마지팬이 올라와 완전히 다른 얼굴을 보인다. 52.4도의 한 모금은 꿀과 건포도, 무화과로 곧게 뻗고 삼킨 뒤에도 그 단맛이 흔들림 없이 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a lot of wood influence in this one that starts on cooked butter, cream sauce and a blend of herbs such as chives and parsley. Very unusual but pretty interesting. The sourness grows bolder and comes now along some faint metallic notes as well as a little porridge, lemon juice and big notes of white wine (sauvignon, I’d say). There’s also quite some smoke (garden bonfire) in this very, very unusually dry Springbank. Grass. Little fruits, no coconuts, no honey. Really improves after a good fifteen minutes, getting more honeyed and raisiny, with also some beautiful whiffs of crushed tropical fruits (mangos, passion fruits) and marzipan. Incredible development, this two-step malt should not be rushed
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, much more focused, on honey, raisins and other dried fruits. Figs, dates, pineapples and all that jazz. The problem – well, is it really a problem? – is that it stays on these beautiful flavours and just wouldn’t develop any further. Maybe a little vanilla crème
timer Finish
long but guess what? Yet again on honey and dried fruits
