Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 정향과 주니퍼의 향신료가 가장 먼저 두드러지고 그 위에 쓴 오렌지와 자몽이 얹힌다. 부싯돌과 분필, 점토의 광물감에 옅은 석탄재와 농가의 흙내가 더해진다. 46.3도의 팰럿은 초반이 다소 흔들리지만 오렌지와 금귤, 진저 토닉과 캄파리 같은 쌉쌀함이 차례로 발전한다. 시가 담배와 셀러리악의 채소감이 뒤따른다. 피니시는 중간보다 길고 쓴 오렌지로 닫히며 개성이 뚜렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
very nice! Starts almost as spicy and assertive as more recent Springbanks can be, with huge notes of cloves and juniper on top of bitter oranges and grapefruits, then a rather big minerality (gunflints, chalk, clay), faint whiffs of coal and wood ashes, and finally that pleasantly dirty farminess that sometimes comes with the package (dusty farmyard after a heavy summer rain- whatever!). I like this nose a lot, even – or maybe because – it’s a little understated
restaurant Palate
as often with the distillery’s recent outputs, the attack is a tad ‘shaky’ and guess what, I like that! Oranges and kumquats, ginger tonic and Campari, warm butter and sour cream, all that at the same time! More and more bitter oranges after that, a faint dustiness (cigar tobacco) and finally something vegetal, between celeriac and salsify. Very, very entertaining whisky, kind of anti-classical if I may say so
timer Finish
medium long, still on vegetables and bitter oranges
