Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 묵은 오크와 옅은 바다 내음이 가장 먼저 두드러지고 곧 잘 익은 살구와 밀랍의 단내가 발전한다. 한 모금 머금으면 캠벨타운 특유의 기름진 질감이 보리 단맛과 오래된 가죽, 은은한 후추를 감싸며 단단한 구조감을 보인다. 50.9도의 도수는 무겁지 않게 입천장을 채우고 여과를 거치지 않은 로 캐스크다운 두꺼운 바디가 그대로 전해진다. 피니시는 짭짤한 미네랄과 쌉쌀한 우드 스파이스로 길게 이어지며, 1967년 증류된 스프링뱅크 33년의 깊이가 또렷하게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold. Little sherry, even better!
air Nose
oh this waxiness! Why were so many malts waxier than they are today? I have my theory, that may have been, as I’ve suggested above in the note for the official, because they were using cast-iron receivers and weren’t really washing them out like if there was no tomorrow between two seasons, which did let the waxes and oils build-up and stay on the rough walls and impart all their goodness. As I said, just a theory. Anyway, superb clean and complex nose, exceptionally fresh, waxy indeed, with many herbs and fruit peelings, pollen, touches of camphor, honeys (clover), then the most beautiful assortment of old apple varietals. Very beehive-y. With a drop of water: waxy earth or something. Immense and so subtle, and so far from contemporary wham-bam-see-my-casks whiskies
restaurant Palate
shock full of beeswax, pine resin, late-harvest riesling, quince and apricot jams, apple compote, precious honeys and no-less precious marmalades. Beautiful tension underneath, very Springbank. With water: all things oils and waxes in the front, with flying colours
timer Finish
medium, very waxy, honeyed, on ripe apples and peaches. Dry cider and a lovely earthiness in the aftertaste
