Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞으로 가져가면 오렌지 껍질과 마지팬을 채운 대추야자가 먼저 인사하고 담뱃잎이 그 뒤를 받친다. 20년을 채운 원액치고는 접근이 쉬워 후추 리큐어와 옅은 퍼지가 편하게 이어진다. 54.1도의 한 모금은 시트러스 탄산 같은 산뜻함으로 시작해 후추와 쌉쌀한 기운이 또렷하게 붙는다. 삼키면 담뱃잎과 가죽이 오고 마지막에 기계유 같은 냄새가 남아 스프링뱅크임을 분명히 한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
same age as the recent Singaporean one, but this one’s far more easy-going on the nose, more classic, on orange zest, dates stuffed with marzipan, tobacco, pepper liqueur, even a touch of fudge... It may lose a little character, but it’s vastly more approachable, and frankly, one can’t complain. With water: same story, it folds in a little, but brings out some lovely tobacco
restaurant Palate
simple (for Springbank), immediate, on citrus sodas including Fanta, with a very pretty combination of pepper and cinchona. We do enjoy this kind of simplicity. With water: compact, in fact perfect, peppery, on dried fruits and citrus, with amusing notes of blueberry yoghurt. I swear
timer Finish
long, fairly rich, on tobacco and leather, then motor oil. Granted, one doesn’t sip motor oil every day, but this is Springbank
