Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 캠벨타운 특유의 짭조름한 바다 내음과 오일리한 질감이 가장 먼저 드러나고, 말린 살구와 밀랍 향이 뒤를 잇는다. 1973년 증류된 원액답게 팰럿은 묵직한 보리 단맛을 바탕으로 호두와 가죽, 옅은 그을음이 또렷하게 발전한다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 소금기와 오크의 떫은 기운이 천천히 남는다. R. W. Duthie가 1988년에 병입한 올드 스프링뱅크로, 캠벨타운의 구조감을 정직하게 보여준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
a totally naked Springbank, without any sherry or apparent oak, which makes sense in this context. So a lot of shoe polish, concrete, lamp oil, huge notes of fern, eucalyptus, Diesel oil, then grapefruits and citrons, chalk, flints, Sancerres… Well, Samaroli's Springbanks were sometimes more or less in the same league as that of Giaccone's Clynelishes, that's all. With water: not too sure, I believe reduction was readymade. Tends to become a little cardboardy
restaurant Palate
rather sublime medicinal, herbal and chalky arrival, very chartreuse-y, petroly, oily, waxy, salty… But it tends not to unfold any further, which is a little unexpected. Perhaps with water? With water: rather similar, just a tad rounder. Touches of eucalyptus and lemon drops, cream eggs (for Easter!)…
timer Finish
long, very lemony and salty. Superb chalkiness
