Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밀짚빛이 잔 속에 맑게 잠겨 있다. 열 해를 채운 이 롱로우의 향은 장뇌와 밀랍으로 시작해 갓 만든 마지팬과 호박씨 기름, 옅은 석유의 냄새로 번진다. 오래된 잡지와 콜타르, 그을음과 백묵의 결이 겹치고 마지막에 자몽의 상큼함이 서명처럼 남는다. 입에서는 아몬드의 쓴맛과 타르, 훈제육과 레몬커드가 차례로 지나며 파라핀의 감촉이 혀를 덮는다. 여운은 길고 민트와 아니스가 되살아나며 짭조름한 끝맛이 오래 이어진다.
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
