Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
foo, what a nose! Starts on avalanches of dried fruits, jams and honeys and gets then beautifully drier, much more on leather polish and tobacco, with some smoke in the background and a little metal polish/old tool. Also something curiously medicinal that hints at Longrow – but Longrow didn’t exist at the time, did it. With water: totally wonderful, with this old-style medicinal profile growing bigger. Old embrocations and secret potions, mint, camphor, antiseptic… and cranberries!
restaurant Palate
a very creamy-jammy attack, absolutely wonderful and very ‘old Springbank’, with these curious medicinal notes that are not to be found anywhere else. Something like cough syrup mixed with lemon juice… Goes on with bags of bitter oranges, caraway seeds, cardamom, bitter almonds, a little olive oil… Truly wonderful. With water: in the same vein but with more liqueurs and fine spices, it becomes almost oriental
timer Finish
long, with this stunning spiciness. For the thousand and one nights?
