Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞으로 가져가면 그을음과 흙, 쓴 초콜릿이 먼저 다가오고 홍차와 마지팬이 그 뒤를 따른다. 구운 판체타와 호두, 소금 캐러멜이 겹치며 오래된 창고 냄새가 배경을 채운다. 53.4도의 한 모금은 버섯과 부싯돌, 짠 광물의 인상으로 들어와 블러드 오렌지가 사이를 튼다. 삼키면 무연탄 같은 무거운 기운과 호두 기름이 남고 마지막은 분필처럼 마르게 정리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
a clean one. Bags of soot, earth, bitter chocolate, black tea, game terrine, marzipan, frying pancetta, walnuts, dried herbs, wax, salted caramel, camphor and plain old dunnage warehouse. With water: leafier, more tobacco, more citrus peel, more nicely structured mineral sherry. Cocoa. Pretty typical and elegant development
restaurant Palate
when Springbank and sherry combine, sometimes it can be a tad monstrous, but here it treads a fine tightrope. Some slightly grubby notes of pencil erasers but also mushrooms, struck flints, saline minerals, blood orange and lightly tarry rope. Increasingly meaty as well with big notes of anthracite and cough syrups. With water: nice, more dark fruits and more leathery qualities. Although, in time, also some slightly more grubby aspects as well. Getting a bit unsteady on that tightrope
timer Finish
medium, rather chalky, getting drier, more bitter chocolate, walnut oil, spiced mead and a touch of herbal peat
