Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 기울이면 반세기 가까운 시간이 가라앉은 짙은 호박빛이 묵직하게 흔들린다. 캠벨타운 특유의 짭짤한 기운이 오래된 가죽과 말린 무화과 향을 데리고 천천히 피어오른다. 1969년 증류된 스프링뱅크답게 입안에서는 묵은 오크와 꿀에 절인 견과가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고, 41.1도의 낮은 도수가 모든 것을 부드럽게 감싼다. 44년 숙성이 남긴 여운은 은은한 광물과 흙내음으로 길게 이어지며 옛 시간의 깊이를 들려준다.

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
