Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 금빛 술을 잔에서 흔들면 한여름 벌집 같은 달콤한 공기가 올라온다. 코를 넣으면 벌꿀주와 노란 꽃, 건포도와 가벼운 토피가 이어지고 그 뒤로 흙과 그을음이 스프링뱅크임을 알린다. 한 모금 굴리면 감귤 마멀레이드와 민트, 유칼립투스가 차례로 열리고 유자 같은 산미가 뒤늦게 나타난다. 삼키면 꿀과 사과주 같은 맛이 길게 남아 1965년 증류라는 사실이 무겁게 다가온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
same whisky as the Miller & Landau, only stronger and perhaps fatter. That means that we’re feeling beehives in the midst of summer, mead, a few yellow flowers, raisins, light toffee (or our beloved box of Werther’s – buy Werther’s instead, that’s cheaper, says someone I know very well), hints of café latte… And behind all this quasi-roundness, a little earth and soot, which is very Springbanky. All is well so far. With water: careful with water, never drown the Local Barleys. In any case, it’s more a drying oak that comes out. Oh drop water
restaurant Palate
once again, we’re extremely close to the Miller & Landau (which could well have been a LB as well). A fat spirit, and yet it’s not exactly heavy, starting on citrus marmalades, raisins, and the same faintly herbal notes yet again, mint, eucalyptus… A little lemon grass as well, drops of honeysuckle tea, then,… wait, yuzu? Really? What’s sure is that it’s all very superb, and rather fresher than expected. It’s even got something of some old Rosebank, but its true that Rosebank wasn’t located very, very far away. With water: swims much better on the palate. Marmalade, drops of limoncello, more golden raisins, more honey…
timer Finish
quite long, more honeyed, but also with rather more notes of cider apples, calvados… Something a little rough
