Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌린 뒤 코를 깊게 넣으면 광물과 왁스 위에 건포도가 덧입혀진 향이 먼저 다가온다. 가죽과 젖은 흙, 담뱃잎이 이어지고 구운 밤과 잉크 냄새까지 겹쳐 온다. 56.1도의 한 모금은 고무와 성냥, 파라핀 같은 거친 인상으로 시작해 짠 오렌지로 정리된다. 물을 조금 더해 삼키면 리몬첼로 같은 산미가 드러나고, 마지막에 남는 짭짤한 신맛이 이 원액을 다른 무엇과도 헷갈리지 않게 한다.
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
