Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 호박빛이 잔에 맑게 깔린다. 마데이라와 셰리가 함께 관여한 향은 광물처럼 정갈해서 캠벨타운 원주의 해안 성격과 잘 맞물린다. 수액 같은 피트와 감귤 껍질, 해변의 조약돌과 낡은 밧줄의 결이 이어지고 블러드 오렌지의 새콤함이 사이를 비집는다. 입에서는 향신료를 두른 오렌지 마멀레이드와 육두구, 장뇌와 마지팬이 차례로 지난다. 49도의 도수가 균형을 잡아준다. 여운은 중간보다 길게 남아 생강 케이크와 간장의 감칠맛으로 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
a rather mineral and clean sherry character which works very well with the pretty chiselled, coastal Springbank distillate style. There’s also some sappy peat, pithy citrus peels, beach pebbles, old rope and various fresh shellfish. Perhaps some blood orange and a toffee crisp as well
restaurant Palate
feels a tad disjointed between the sherry and distillate - which is something I often find with contemporary Springbank in sherry. Lots of spiced orange marmalade, some nutmeg, camphor, stewed fruits, marzipan and things like gauze and light antiseptic. It’s still pretty good though, it must be said
timer Finish
medium-long. Lots of spiced ginger cake, medical notes, umami broth, soy sauce, lemon cough drops and some slightly farmy notes in the distance
