Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 화이트 와인처럼 옅은 술이 맑게 돌고 코를 가져가면 젖은 석회석과 부싯돌, 석유 냄새가 먼저 나선다. 그 위에 레몬과 조개껍데기, 석탄 연기가 겹쳐 군더더기 없는 옛 스프링뱅크의 결을 그린다. 한 모금을 머금으면 51.8도의 술이 키위와 붉은 대황 같은 신 과일로 시작해 분필과 점토, 잉크 한 방울로 이어진다. 삼킨 자리에는 광물감과 밀랍, 레몬이 나란히 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
ooooh… crystal-clean Springbank! This nose is reminiscent of that of the old pale 5yo from the 60s or 70s, really. Wet limestone, gravel, flints, petroleum, lemon, Barbour polish, seashells, grass and coal smokes… I have to say we’ve had other magnificent 1993s, many rather Longrowy. Could be Longrow indeed. With water: yes! That old tweed jacket after many rains, and a pile of all Newsweeks. Right, any magazines
restaurant Palate
not Longrow, this is much fruitier. Kiwis, lemons, red rhubarb, then chalk and clay, a drop of ink, one oyster, and a wee bit of tyre plus a slice of fresh baguette (any breads, really, excusez-moi madame monsieur). Epitomically Springbank. With water: bingo! Don’t just add too much H2O, it needs a lot of time to adapt to reduction and it won’t be ready yet when you’ll go to bed
timer Finish
long, splendidly mineral, waxy, and lemony. That was a brief summary
