Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
프레시 포트 캐스크에서 18년을 보냈지만 향은 붉은 과실보다 광물성이 앞선다. 노즈는 가죽과 진흙, 담배, 초석이 순서대로 잡히고 구운 밤과 잉크, 오래된 종이의 뉘앙스가 뒤따른다. 56.4도의 팰럿은 고무와 브레이크 오일, 성냥, 파라핀 같은 날카로운 결에 짭짤한 오렌지가 겹친다. 물을 더하면 리몬첼로 같은 시트러스가 열린다. 피니시는 길고 소금기 섞인 새콤함이 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
believe me or not, this is more or less a blend of the two previous ones. That is to say a rather more mineral and waxy Springbank, coated with some rounder, more raisiny aromas. Leather, mud, tobacco, saltpetre, roasted chestnuts and toasted walnuts, ink, carbon paper, new magazines… You see. With water: rather a pile of old magazines in an old attic. You know, Kennedy shot down, Man on the moon, Vietnam, Jimi Hendrix…
restaurant Palate
great rubber and brake fluid and new tyres and struck matches and paraffin and… salty oranges. In short, the Springbankest of them all. With water: there’s a quality limoncello quality to it once you’ve reduced it. A dirtiness as well, but Springbank ought to be a little dirty, in my opinion
timer Finish
long, with this wonderful wee salty sourness that’s so… idiosyncratic
