Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밀짚빛이 잔 속에서 가볍게 반짝인다. 레스트 앤 비 생크풀이 담은 이 1991년 버번 캐스크는 25년을 지났는데도 향이 놀랄 만큼 젊다. 신선한 파인애플이 앞장서고 구운 빵과 바닐라가 그 아래를 받치며 곧 키위와 구스베리, 잘 익은 윌리엄스 배가 잇달아 열린다. 46.3도의 입안은 크림처럼 부드럽고 달지만 중반부터 포도씨와 레몬 제스트의 떫은 결이 앞선다. 여운은 다소 마르며 코코넛의 단맛이 마지막에 스친다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
it starts extremely fruity and aromatic, with lots of fresh pineapple underlined with some fine oaky tones (toasted bread and quite some vanilla). Goes on with something distinctively milky (sugared yoghurt, fromage blanc) but then we have a fruity explosion: ripe kiwis and gooseberries, strawberries, very ripe Williams pears… Amazingly youthful at such old age. Not the most complex old Springbank on the nose but it’s really playful. It reminds me of some very old Benriachs
restaurant Palate
creamy, sweet, sort of light but certainly not weak. Lots of fruits again but also lots of tannins now, rather drying. Grape seeds, lemon zest… A certain lack of body after a while, with a rather weak middle. Quite some spices but other than that there’s not much left. The finish is a bit bolder, though, but maybe too oaky and drying – but we do have a little coconut. Too bad, as often with these old whiskies, the nose was fab but the palate doesn’t quite deliver. 84 points . Springbank 25 yo (46%, OB, 2006) A fairly new official expression
