Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
알케미스트가 1995년 원액을 포트 우드에서 10년 담아 낸 이 보틀링은 잔을 기울이면 짙은 앰버가 무겁게 흐른다. 코를 가져가면 건포도와 초콜릿, 자두가 둥글게 밀려오고 민트와 감초가 배경에서 스친다. 한 모금 머금으면 말린 무화과와 대추야자, 리큐어 초콜릿의 단맛 뒤로 유황 기운이 살짝 고개를 든다. 삼키면 소금 친 감초와 붉은 와인 같은 쌉쌀함이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
it’s rather a clean Springbank, I think more in the style of the 1960s or 1970s, with a kind of sherry that’s rounded and all on raisins, chocolates and prunes. There’s also very little sulphur if any, while I came across many sherry casks that had massive amounts of sulphur at the time. So, a rather smooth, clean, jammy Springbank so far. Nice whiffs of mint and liquorice in the background, sultanas, a little rum (Demerara), Havana cigar… All very appealing
restaurant Palate
a little more disjointed, with this feeling of rotting oranges and sulphur that were to be found in several sherry casks five or ten years ago. Having said that, the rest is most pleasant, with dried figs and dates, raisins, liqueur-filled chocolate and then just a little salted liquorice. A little plastic/paraffin and lemon squash as well
timer Finish
long, a tad bitter now, and maybe a tad chemical as well (industrial orange juice – no brands needed I guess). Vegetables, red wine
