Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 분필과 그을음, 발효조의 곡물감이 정갈하게 열리고 곧 캄포르와 약재 뉘앙스가 명확하게 드러난다. 요오드와 굴, 연고 같은 향이 겹치며 캠벨타운과 아일라의 경계를 흐린다. 팰럿은 42.8도의 낮은 도수에도 레몬 섞인 연기와 자몽, 소금물, 재가 또렷하게 발전한다. 피니시는 길지 않지만 참기름과 수지 뉘앙스가 남는다. 1992년 빈티지 28년 숙성의 우아함이 도수의 손실을 메운다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine. Always the perfect colour for Springbank
air Nose
an ideal counterpoint after the CAD. It is the same whisky, just eighteen years older. It's lost a little oomph, but it won more complexity and subtleness, and even more elegance. Perfect chalky, sooty, fermentary, gristy notes, then rather less lemon than in the young ones, and more camphory and medicinal notes. Iodine, mercurochrome, oysters, ointments, peat smoke… In the end, it is almost like if Campbeltown and Islay had moved closer back in 1992. Plate tectonics, maybe?
restaurant Palate
indeed, you would be forgiven for saying this is an older Islay. Tight lemony smoke, cough syrup, kippers, grapefruits, brine, ashes, touches of passion fruits, oysters, plasticine, bitter almonds… This is troubling
timer Finish
not too long but wonderfully tertiary. Many smaller coastal and resinous notes, and a little sesame and fish oil in the aftertaste. 90% sesame, 10% fish (phew!)
