Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 앰버빛 술에서 말린 용안과 대추야자, 무화과 같은 진한 건과일 향이 먼저 폭발하듯 올라온다. 장미수와 삼나무 상자, 육두구가 뒤를 이으며 1972년 증류액다운 낯선 이국의 결을 만든다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56.5도가 꿀과 밀랍, 모과 조림과 랑시오를 차례로 밀어 올리고 구운 건포도와 자두가 그 위에 얹힌다. 삼키고 나면 잼처럼 진한 단맛과 짠 기운이 뒤엉켜 아주 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)
