Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark mahogany
air Nose
gun flints, motor oil, coal dust, black pepper and some very old balsamic vinegar. This is one SMWS title that makes sense as there is this gunpowder allusion in the nose with this kind of brimstone and struck flints quality. However, what’s impressive is that it remains a pure, powerful and clean style of sherry, and there is still some lovely and clear Springbank DNA underneath it all. Leathery cured meats, hessian, jasmine and old rope exist next to natural tar, embrocations, truffle oil and some very dark, stewed fruits such as prune juice, black cherries, dates and fig paste. Pretty great stuff I think. With water: kirsch, sandalwood, hessian, bitter chocolate, mint tea, blackjack chews, salty liquorice and a glimmer of earthy peat
restaurant Palate
big, intense spices, hickory wood smoke, gentle medicines, salted meats, strawberry wine, struck matches, more tarriness, freeze dried raspberries and some ancient boal madeira. More old balsamico, walnut wine, rancio, aged pinot noir and boot polish. With water: more very old dark wines, leather, wood spice, cloves, sap, intense herbal resins, Fernet Branca and various earthy, coastal and farmyard qualities all mingling with impressive boisterousness
timer Finish
wonderfully long, medicinal, oily, sooty and fat. Lots of cherry notes, hessian, camphor, engine oil and something heathery as well
