Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 캠벨타운의 스프링뱅크가 1996년에 증류돼 셰리 벗에서 23년을 보낸 뒤 PX 옥타브에서 마무리되어 53.1도로 병입된 보틀이다. 향에는 마른 무화과, 흙냄새, 옅은 해풍이 서로 얽혀 떠오르며 스프링뱅크 특유의 미네랄리티가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 PX의 짙은 단맛과 캠벨타운의 흙맛이 균형 있게 부딪친다. 여운에는 향신료와 짭조름한 흙의 잔향이 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a lot of wood influence in this one that starts on cooked butter, cream sauce and a blend of herbs such as chives and parsley. Very unusual but pretty interesting. The sourness grows bolder and comes now along some faint metallic notes as well as a little porridge, lemon juice and big notes of white wine (sauvignon, I’d say). There’s also quite some smoke (garden bonfire) in this very, very unusually dry Springbank. Grass. Little fruits, no coconuts, no honey. Really improves after a good fifteen minutes, getting more honeyed and raisiny, with also some beautiful whiffs of crushed tropical fruits (mangos, passion fruits) and marzipan. Incredible development, this two-step malt should not be rushed
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, much more focused, on honey, raisins and other dried fruits. Figs, dates, pineapples and all that jazz. The problem – well, is it really a problem? – is that it stays on these beautiful flavours and just wouldn’t develop any further. Maybe a little vanilla crème
timer Finish
long but guess what? Yet again on honey and dried fruits
