Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
캠벨타운 항구의 짭조름한 바다 안개가 스프링뱅크 1972의 캐릭터를 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 1992년에 병입된 20년 숙성 오크 캐스크 보틀링이 옅은 황금빛으로 잔에 잠긴다. 향에서는 짠 미네랄과 마른 풀, 옅은 시나몬이 차례로 드러나고, 56.5도의 알코올이 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 캐러멜과 정향, 옅은 가죽 풍미를 흘려보낸다. 여운은 짠맛과 마른 오크 향이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
a rather explosive and unusual nose of mid-fermented and dried fruits, with lots of dried longans, slightly rotten oranges, dates and figs (hints of arrak), very ripe apricots, sultanas… All that is totally great, don’t get me wrong. Also great smokiness and minerality. Goes on with oriental pastries, rosewater, cedar box, fresh parlsey (yeah, like in a Lebanese restaurant), getting oakier with time (nutmeg and cinnamon). Again, very unusual and very fabulous
restaurant Palate
ah yes, it’s very good. Not properly bold but the attack is quite ‘funny’, in two steps (first dried fruits, then salt). Lots of strong honey, rancio, beeswax, quince paste, orange liqueur, vanilla fudge… Quite some spices from the wood as well, hints of burnt cake and roasted raisins, prunes… And the finish is quite long, jammy, rummy and honeyed – with again that usual salty touch. Extremely good and quite different from the well-known Local Barleys and company. I still just love it: 93 points . Springbank 20 yo 1972/1992 (56.5%, Cadenhead)
