Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌린 뒤 코를 낮게 넣으면 익힌 버터와 허브가 뒤섞인 독특한 냄새가 먼저 다가온다. 시큼한 기운이 커지며 레몬즙과 화이트 와인, 마당 불의 연기가 겹치고 단내는 좀처럼 나오지 않는다. 시간을 두고 다시 맡으면 건포도와 마지팬이 올라와 인상이 바뀐다. 52.7도의 한 모금은 꿀과 무화과, 파인애플로 곧게 뻗고, 삼킨 뒤에도 그 건과의 단맛이 흔들리지 않고 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
