Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
캠벨타운 항구의 짠 바다 안개와 농경 풍토가 스프링뱅크의 무거운 골격을 빚어낸다. 잔 속 깊은 적갈색 너머로 1970년 빈티지의 시간이 농축된 색이 드러난다. 향에서는 오래된 가죽과 말린 무화과, 캠벨타운 특유의 짭짤한 바다 기운이 함께 올라온다. 입에서는 퍼스트필 올로로소 셰리 버트의 어두운 단맛이 묵직하게 입을 채우고 그을린 토피가 잇따른다. 37년이 다듬은 53.9도의 알코올은 가죽과 짠 바람의 잔향으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
well, it’s the same kind of classy spirit, only hidden behind rather massive notes of vanilla and milk chocolate (yes, more active oak). It’s also a bit more buttery but the excellent mashy notes do manage to come to light after a few minutes, as well as a little wood smoke. Not quite as ‘natural’ as the 1992 but it is great whisky. ‘Drink me?’ We will for sure!
restaurant Palate
exactly the same happens on the palate. These lemony, waxy and grassy notes are coated with vanilla and caramel, the result being rather pleasant, a bit rounder than the 1992 for a while but the bigger pepper (and cloves, and nutmeg) still makes it really, err, big
timer Finish
very long, clean, always on the same notes. Well, this is big whisky indeed, even if it lacks a bit of the 1992’s huge straightforwardness
