Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 벌집과 밀랍, 프로폴리스가 가장 먼저 두드러지고 미라벨 잼과 마르멜로 젤리가 뒤를 잇는다. 시간이 지나면 옅은 훈연과 모카, 파인애플 리큐어, 구운 바나나까지 층이 끝없이 열린다. 팰럿은 46도에서 각종 잼과 오렌지, 설탕에 절인 금귤이 순서대로 발전하며 향신료와 견과가 뒤를 받친다. 피니시는 길고 꿀과 말린 살구가 남는다. 1967년 셰리 캐스크 21년 숙성의 완결성이 남다르다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
extreme beehive, wax, propolis, old papers… Mirabelle jam, quince jelly… absolutely brilliant. Bold, coating… Gets then quite smoky, with some mocha. Then banana flambéed, coconut… Then some high-end wine (great old Pomerol – no, not just any merlot)… Then chicory… Then lots of pineapple liqueur, Malibu, old Muscat wine. Really breathtaking. Gets then buttery, with some crème brulée… Hay jam, apricot jam… Just an endless development starts on all sorts of dried fruits, honeys (pine, chestnut, lavender, acacia), wax, cooked apricot… Goes on with tarte tatin, butter caramel. It gets rather smoky after ten minutes or so, with some great crumb. Notes of old rum and vanilla. Perhaps it just lacks a little bit of vivacity
restaurant Palate
so extraordinarily bold! Almost pungent, after more than 20 years in its bottle. All sorts of jams, orange, crystallized kumquats. Lots of spices, nuts, smoke, herbs… I could go on for hours. S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. Second go after some breathing, one hour and a half later, from the very same glass (no refill!): the nose gets quite similar to a very old Sauternes or a Sélection de Grains Nobles (by Zind-Humbrecht, no need to say). Raisins, quince jelly, very old rum. The mouth is still very strong: old Port, grilled beef, balsamic vinegar… even some Japanese sake! A complete catalogue of aromas and flavours. Yes, this one is well a ‘Grand Cru’, or a malt king . 98 points (record!) Springbank 21 yo (46%, parchment label, ‘Archibald Mitchell’, 80’s) Colour; apricot lots of herbal tea and dust, cocoa powder and cinnamon, getting slightly bitter. Yet there’s a lot of light toffee, caramel, cooked apple, candy sugar… It even gets quite hot, but also tannic and dusty. The finish is quite long but again, rather tannic, that’s why my rating is ‘only’ 91 points . TASTING - Springbank 34 yo 1969/2003 (54.7%, Signatory Rare Reserve, butt #262, 408 bottles) This one’s been matured in a second-fill sherry cask
