Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 버트 안에서 34년을 보낸 긴 시간이 향과 맛 전반을 지배한다. 1969년 증류된 이 스프링뱅크는 캠벨타운 특유의 기름진 질감 위로 말린 무화과와 가죽, 옅은 해풍의 짠기를 천천히 풀어놓는다. 56.7도의 높은 도수에도 입에서는 호두 기름과 검은 꿀, 오래된 오크의 쌉쌀함이 단단하게 맞물린다. 깊은 호박빛 잔 끝으로 짭조름한 광물감과 가죽 향이 길게 남아 34년의 무게를 또렷이 증명한다.

ah, metal polish and old coins! It’s really that style, it’s more or less like nosing a bag full of old bits of iron, copper and brass. And then, only in the background, we have various candied fruits, quite some hay, herbal teas (honeysuckle, thyme) and just a spoonful of cigar ashes. Maybe a drop of shampoo? It’s not a trumpeting Springbank at all, maybe thanks to a ‘light’ cask (most were very sherried at the time), but it’s extremely elegant and refined. Love the herbal teas and love the metallic side

Jesus Mary and Joseph! I had thought it would be light and even slender, and we have a punchy, very fresh, peppery old Springbank. The bottle and its cap were great because you would think it was bottled just yesterday, as there isn’t the slightest trace of Old Bottle Effect. Should be perfect for detected style nuances wrt modern Springbank, but I’m afraid there aren’t many. Beeswax, paraffin, cooking oil, grass, herbal teas, chlorophyll, bitter oranges, a touch of rubber, grapefruits…
timer Finish
rather long and quite salty, but the grassy bitterness came to the forefront. Not my favourite part
