Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 샤르도네를 닮은 맑은 빛이 잔 안에서 흔들린다. 코를 대면 구스베리와 풋사과의 새콤함이 먼저 오고 신선한 버터와 양초 왁스, 흰 아스파라거스 같은 낯선 채소 향이 뒤를 잇는다. 한 모금 머금으면 47도가 뿌리채소와 왁스의 결을 혀 위에 펼치고 청포도 같은 산미와 석회질 감각이 함께 선다. 삼키면 회향과 아니스의 약초 기운이 우아하게 정리된다. 리필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 27년을 보낸 결과가 놀랍도록 절제되어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
chardonnay
air Nose
chardonnay. I am not joking! Some nice blanc de blancs from the Côte des Blancs, plus some gooseberries, granny smith, some fresh butter, apple juice, candle wax, a cup of celeriac juice, one of carrot juice, just a little custard, and the signature white asparagus that sometimes – not often – appear in civilised Springbanks. Let's put this straight, this could have been Clynelish just as well
restaurant Palate
it was not quite a nosing whisky, the palate's having it. Fantastic roots and waxes, tart green fruit (the same apples, greengages, kiwis) and this extraordinary chalkiness that would remind us of some great… terroiry chardonnays indeed. Limestone, do you hear me? I've had a little Auxey-Duresses the other day… that's all I'm saying! In any case, Sponge or not Sponge, this palate is perfect
timer Finish
rather long, very elegant, with a few medicinal touches and even a little fennel and aniseed
