Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 깔끔한 미네랄 셰리가 먼저 드러나고 수액 같은 이탄과 시트러스 껍질이 뒤를 잇는다. 해변 조약돌과 낡은 밧줄, 블러드 오렌지의 인상이 리필 혹스헤드 10년의 젊음과 잘 맞물린다. 50도의 팰럿은 향신료를 넣은 오렌지 마멀레이드와 육두구, 마지팬이 발전하되 셰리와 스피릿이 다소 따로 논다. 피니시는 중간보다 길고 생강 케이크와 간장 같은 감칠맛으로 닫힌다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
a rather mineral and clean sherry character which works very well with the pretty chiselled, coastal Springbank distillate style. There’s also some sappy peat, pithy citrus peels, beach pebbles, old rope and various fresh shellfish. Perhaps some blood orange and a toffee crisp as well
restaurant Palate
feels a tad disjointed between the sherry and distillate - which is something I often find with contemporary Springbank in sherry. Lots of spiced orange marmalade, some nutmeg, camphor, stewed fruits, marzipan and things like gauze and light antiseptic. It’s still pretty good though, it must be said
timer Finish
medium-long. Lots of spiced ginger cake, medical notes, umami broth, soy sauce, lemon cough drops and some slightly farmy notes in the distance
