Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
캠벨타운 항구의 짠 공기와 습한 바닷가 풍토가 스프링뱅크의 묵직한 개성을 빚어낸다. 1974년을 채워 28년을 보낸 이 위스키는 잔 속에서 깊은 호박빛으로 가라앉는다. 옅은 피트와 바닷바람 위로 말린 과일과 가죽 향이 천천히 올라온다. 46도의 부드러운 도수에서 짭짤한 캐러멜과 오렌지 껍질이 입안을 감싸며 흐른다. 여운에는 항구의 소금기와 은은한 그을음이 오래도록 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Light gold
air Nose
Honey, wax, a crisp beery maltiness and some little coastal phenolic touches. We’re not a million miles away from some of the old 1966 bourbon cask Local Barley bottlings. Becomes a little dryer on darjeeling tea and white pepper but all the while with a nicely luscious green fruit streak throughout
restaurant Palate
quite a soft delivery and the wood is perhaps a touch drying but there’s nice notes of hardwood, furniture wax, some tropical fruits and a little notes of orange liqueur, tea tree oil and touches of medicine. Not hugely complex but the flavour is very enjoyable
timer Finish
medium length with a nice fruity afterglow
