Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold-amber
air Nose
rather hot at first nosing, with an obvious sherry but also quite some caramel and hints of iron, mint and parsley. A little soy sauce. Rather rougher than expected, wilder… Gets rather vinous after five or six minutes, with notes of strawberry jam and liqueur, blackcurrant jelly, also ham and leather, shoe polish. Kind of a slight ‘dirtiness’. Gets even more minty and herbal after fifteen minutes. This one really improved after three or four months of breathing in the opened bottle. Also something animal (game)
restaurant Palate
a bold attack, jammy, caramelly, orangey… Develops on Bailey’s and fruit liqueurs (it’s quite sweet), ripe pineapples, dried bananas, coconut liqueur (you know which brand)… Gets almost thick, not exactly cloying but…, let’s say invading. Quite some bitter chocolate, getting a bit drying. Still quite rough
timer Finish
rather long, now frankly on liqueur-filled chocolate and hot praline. A strong Springbank with lots of sherry, for amateurs of the genre – probably hard to find, that is. 89 points . Springbank 28 yo 1969/1998 (52.3%, Signatory, cask #2382, 490 bottles, sherry)
