Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
구릿빛 감도는 적갈색이 잔 속에 깊게 가라앉아 있다. 1969년 프레시 셰리에서 28년을 보낸 스프링뱅크답게 바다 소금기와 말린 무화과, 가죽 향이 켜켜이 올라온다. 입에 머금으면 기름진 질감이 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 흑설탕과 호두, 옅은 그을음이 어우러진다. 캠벨타운 특유의 짭조름함이 단맛 사이를 가른다. 오래된 오크와 다크초콜릿의 쌉쌀함이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
much more old wood, forest, damp fir cones after a heavy tropical rain (did it occur to you that there are no firs in the tropics, Serge?), eucalyptus, some rancio for sure, horse saddle, menthol, cedar wood, humidor... There's a wonderful complexity here
restaurant Palate
the oak may feel a little too much now, and it's some kind of old French oak, akin to what you may find in a very old Bourgogne that got a little dry. Having said that, everything that sits behind it is just perfect, from black raisins to cigars and from cocoa powder to crème de menthe. And let's not forget Seville oranges, and a rather walnutty sherry
timer Finish
long, a tad drying because of the oak. Cloves and cinnamon plus more bitter oranges
