Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 놀랄 만큼 깨끗하게 열린다. 신선한 버터와 들꽃, 밀랍의 향이 앞서고 딸기와 귤의 과일 노트가 뒤따르며 옅은 이탄 연기가 배경을 잡는다. 클라레 캐스크 피니시임에도 나무의 개입이 두드러지지 않는다. 54.4도의 팰럿은 긴장감이 좋고 코코넛과 딸기 시럽, 마시멜로의 단맛에 스프링뱅크 특유의 무른 오렌지와 가죽이 겹친다. 피니시는 중간 이상 길이로 소금기와 올리브유의 여운이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
beautifully clean yet complex at first nosing, extremely pure, with notes of fresh butter, flowers from the fields (our beloved dandelions), beeswax and other waxes (no paraffin that is) and then straighter fruity notes (strawberries and quite some tangerines), with also a little peat smoke. It’s very natural and maybe a tad old-style (make that traditional), which is an asset in our opinion. Absolutely no obvious wood treatment
restaurant Palate
very good ‘nervousness’, sweet, fruity (the notes of coconuts are back!), getting even fruitier over time (strawberry syrup, marshmallows). Also these very peculiar notes of overripe oranges and leather that are only to be found in Springbank or Longrow, rather discrete here. Good whisky
timer Finish
medium long, with a little salt and hints of olive oil that add to its complexity. Oak, Turkish delights and oranges
