Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞에서 천천히 움직이면 장뇌와 밀랍, 갓 만든 마지팬 냄새가 한꺼번에 풀려나온다. 아르간유와 석유, 오래된 잡지 냄새가 뒤를 잇고 마지막에 자몽이 산뜻하게 서명을 남긴다. 한 모금을 머금으면 43도라는 낮은 도수가 무색하게 타르와 훈제 고기, 레몬 커드, 소금 초콜릿이 차례로 밀려든다. 삼킨 자리에는 민트와 아니스, 고무 같은 기운이 짠 뒷맛과 함께 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
well, many older Springbanks were sherried, and this one may well have a wee bit of sherry inside as well, but otherwise it’s totally pure indeed, extraordinarily camphory, waxy, full of fresh marzipan, argan and pumpkin oils, petroly oils, old musty magazines, coal tar, soot, chalk, and then grapefruits as a joyful signature. Fantastic distillery character, full and complex at the same time
restaurant Palate
of course we’d have preferred 46% vol., but this distillate was so rich and characterful that it needed no extra-punch. Wonderful bitterness, almonds, tar, smoked meats, lemon curd, paraffin, a feeling of blue ink (why blue, S.?), salted chocolate, and then a wee mezcaly agave-iness
timer Finish
rather long, with rather more mint and aniseed, a touch of good rubber (very Springbank), and that typical salty aftertaste. I’ve heard they were adding seawater to the barrels just like they were doing at Bowmore – just joking
