Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔 안쪽을 얇게 감싼다. 처음에는 익힌 버터와 크림 소스, 파와 파슬리 같은 향이 올라와 위스키답지 않게 낯설다. 정원의 모닥불 연기와 소비뇽 계열의 흰 와인 향이 이어지다가 십오 분쯤 지나면 꿀과 건포도, 망고와 마지팬이 열린다. 배럴에서 18년을 보낸 이 위스키는 입에서 무화과와 대추, 파인애플의 단맛으로 곧게 뻗는다. 여운은 길고 끝까지 꿀에 머문다.
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
