Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1969년 증류된 스프링뱅크의 오일리한 왁스와 묵은 가죽, 마른 풀 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 캠벨타운 몰트다운 짭조름한 미네랄이 34년 숙성의 깊이를 받친다. 팰럿은 40.9도임에도 농축된 과실과 꿀, 은은한 훈연이 명확하게 드러나며 균형이 단단하다. 피니시에는 오크 탄닌과 소금기가 길게 이어지고, 더글라스 레잉 올드 몰트 캐스크 특유의 절제된 구조감이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.

ah, metal polish and old coins! It’s really that style, it’s more or less like nosing a bag full of old bits of iron, copper and brass. And then, only in the background, we have various candied fruits, quite some hay, herbal teas (honeysuckle, thyme) and just a spoonful of cigar ashes. Maybe a drop of shampoo? It’s not a trumpeting Springbank at all, maybe thanks to a ‘light’ cask (most were very sherried at the time), but it’s extremely elegant and refined. Love the herbal teas and love the metallic side

Jesus Mary and Joseph! I had thought it would be light and even slender, and we have a punchy, very fresh, peppery old Springbank. The bottle and its cap were great because you would think it was bottled just yesterday, as there isn’t the slightest trace of Old Bottle Effect. Should be perfect for detected style nuances wrt modern Springbank, but I’m afraid there aren’t many. Beeswax, paraffin, cooking oil, grass, herbal teas, chlorophyll, bitter oranges, a touch of rubber, grapefruits…
timer Finish
rather long and quite salty, but the grassy bitterness came to the forefront. Not my favourite part
