Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 살구빛에 가까운 술이 무겁게 돌고 코를 가져가면 58.7도의 기세가 먼저 스친다. 곧 살구와 구운 브리오슈, 꿀이 자리를 잡고 뒤에서 옅은 나무 연기와 까막까치밥나무 순이 따라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 과일이 크게 벌어져 블랙커런트 젤리와 풍선껌, 세비야 오렌지가 이어지고 리필 셰리의 단맛이 골격을 잡는다. 삼킨 뒤에는 후추와 말린 생강이 단맛을 정리한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold – apricot
air Nose
rather punchy at first nosing, a little spirity, but then it’s all on apricots, a little wood smoke, toasted brioche and honey. Hints of blackcurrant buds in the background, peonies. Faint whiffs of cologne, nothing unpleasant
restaurant Palate
an extreme fruitiness plus a faint smokiness. We have a lot of blackcurrant jelly, bubblegum, maybe even marshmallows… Seville oranges as well… Is it winey? Maybe a little but the whole is balanced and enjoyable. Good structure
timer Finish
medium long, still on bubblegum but also with quite some pepper and dried ginger. Good, very drinkable, not complicated. Good value. 85 points . Same malt but bottled in 2007 : extremely similar although maybe a tad less winey on the nose. The palate is just the same as far I can judge. No reason to rate this one differently. 85 points. Springbank 13 yo 1993/2007 (58.7%, Single Malts of Scotland)
