Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 깃든 옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에 잠겨 있다. 캠벨타운 특유의 바다 내음과 젖은 밧줄, 은은한 기름기가 코끝을 먼저 두드린다. 입에 머금으면 짭조름한 소금기 위로 마른 과일과 꿀의 단맛이 미끄러지듯 번지고, 리필 호그스헤드에서 31년을 보낸 시간이 49.3도의 절제된 힘으로 받친다. 여운은 옅은 연기와 광물의 기운을 남기며 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
this one is quite different, more on fruit pastes, such as Alsatian quince paste, then marzipan, bergamots, orange marmalade (in significant quantities), even fudge, mirabelle plum jam, orange blossom, as well as mastic, polish, elderflower... In short, a completely pacified Springbank, reminiscent of some of the old Local Barleys distilled in the 1960s. Or you may consider those 'West Highland Malts'
restaurant Palate
beware, the beast has awoken, with lots of oils and waxes, bitter almonds, old walnuts, even a bit of mustard and curry. Then come the salty and smoky notes, some increasingly intense minerality, herbal teas, this chalky and oily aspect, but also dried grapes and figs. All of this is quite incredible, truly
timer Finish
even more incredible, it becomes rather floral now, with lots of honey, pollen, flower jellies... I'm thinking particularly of mullein (which is very good for the throat!)
