Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 셰리라고 적혀 있지만 캐스크는 놀랄 만큼 얌전하다. 1993년 원액이 25년을 지나며 내놓는 것은 강철과 공구, 호두와 엔진오일 같은 금속성이고 그 위에 멘톨과 석회암, 파라핀이 얹힌다. 52.3도의 입은 셰리의 단맛 대신 레몬과 왁스, 그을음과 바닷물의 날 선 산미로 채워진다. 여운에는 자몽과 백묵이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
steel, tools, walnuts and engine oil, that’s well Springbank. Then we have some menthol, a little camphor, limestone, paraffin and bitter oranges, plus some beach sand and perhaps a little chalk and fresh parsley. No complains so far (why would I), on the contrary. If this was first fill sherry indeed, it was some very well behaved sherry. With water: the nicest porridge there is (with a nip of Springbank inside)
restaurant Palate
tarter, zestier, more citrusy than the OB, sharper, more a blade as we sometimes say. Does not feel like 1st fill at all but frankly, that’s all for the better in my book. Lovely lemons, oils, waxes, minerals, soot, a drop of seawater, some ointments, a little wakame perhaps (that’s at the ‘coastal’ department), marmalade, some very flinty and pretty fermentary white wines by some good folks in Jura (Ganevat and compadres)… All great and pure. Again, no wham-bam sherry in the way. With water: exactly. Almonds, lemons, seawater, wax and chalk
timer Finish
rather long, waxier and chalkier yet, with lemons and grapefruits in the aftertaste. That always works
