Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 가져가면 조린 루바브와 구아바 주스 같은 낯선 단내가 먼저 오르고 장미 꽃잎과 리치의 화사함이 뒤를 잇는다. 잠시 두었다 다시 맡으면 분필과 바닷물, 레몬즙으로 초점이 잡힌다. 한 모금을 머금으면 분필 같은 레몬과 시트론 리큐어에 타임과 로즈메리가 얹히고 흑연 냄새가 배경에 깔린다. 1992년 원액을 버번 캐스크에서 26년 재운 51도의 이 보틀링은 삼킨 뒤 파라핀과 아몬드의 고소함을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
indeed, it’s one of the ‘funnier’ one, with notes of turnips, hand cream, oysters, stewed rhubarb, guava juice, Weissbier, rose petals, even litchis… We’re far from the sooty and mineral ones that they started to distil a few years later, even if it’s easily noticeable that it tends to get better focussed after a few minutes. This baby needs air. With water: brilliant, all it needed was time and a little water. Crushed chalk in seawater and lemon juice
restaurant Palate
ah wait wait wait, this is different indeed. Chalky lemons, citron liqueur blended with seaweed juice, thyme and rosemary, these wee ‘plasticky’ notes that weren’t uncommon in Springbank back then, graphite oil… With water: we got it! Chalky textile and lemony brine, tinned sardines…
timer Finish
medium, and rather beautifully paraffiny and almondy
