Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞에서 흔들면 럼 아그리콜 같은 풋풋한 사탕수수 냄새가 먼저 튀어오르고 곧 석탄 연기와 마른 셰리가 겹친다. 더 맡으면 무른 사과와 잉크, 소금물의 기운이 따라붙는다. 한 모금을 머금으면 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르다가 금속성 뉘앙스와 시트론, 훈제 청어의 짠맛이 빠르게 교차한다. 1995년 원액을 올로로소 셰리 캐스크에서 17년 재워 46도로 담았다. 삼킨 뒤에는 오렌지와 금속의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts on rhum agricole, goes on with more coal smoke mingled with some kind of dry sherry, and develops more on overripe apples, ink, touches of plastic (new car, not unusual with Springbank in my experience) and brine. It’s got a faint dusty and dirty side that’s not unpleasant at all – not that it’s perverted, eh!
restaurant Palate
typical, big and rather thick yet nervous and ‘quick’, with a wee metallic touch followed by citrons, some kind of polish, kippers, some walnut skin (from the sherry?) and then more salt and brine. I enjoy this a lot and what’s more, it’s balanced and it was bottled at a perfect drinking strength
timer Finish
long, with –more oranges and always this slightly metallic touch. Orange squash, menthol cigarette
