Tasting Notes
Colour
gold. Good news!
air Nose
alright, let’s cut to the chase, this one is brimming with Springbankness, possibly a 3rd-fill. Sublime mineral and vegetal oils, chalky rock, dried banana peel, slightly underripe mangoes, tiny drops of peppermint essence, then a cavalcade of citrus peels, ointments, aromatic herbs, while—here comes a surprise—a wee oyster makes an appearance. Mad stuff. With water: little change, perhaps just a touch more greasiness—think engine grease—and a bit of paraffin
restaurant Palate
exceptionally oily and citrus-forward at first, then gradually shifts towards waxes, flinty notes, fruit skins (pear, peach, mango), and salted pistachio. Magnificent. With water: again, water doesn’t do much beyond gently amplifying the peppery and salty tones, and perhaps what the blessed younger whisky lovers, who’ve never seen James Brown live, refer to as ‘the funk’
timer Finish
long, more saline, more maritime, with our wee oyster making a comeback, joined by seaweed, nori, then grapefruit skins and pips. Beautiful bitterness
