Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛 술을 잔에서 돌리면 세컨필 셰리 버트라는 이력이 무색할 만큼 맑은 빛이 돈다. 코를 넣으면 풋과일과 밀랍, 바닷물과 올리브유가 겹치고 장뇌 같은 서늘함이 끝을 맺는다. 한 모금 머금으면 휘발유와 소금물, 레몬즙이 함께 훈연된 듯한 맛이 퍼지고 요오드와 타르가 뒤따른다. 삼키면 짠 꿀과 자갈, 약재 같은 기운이 길게 이어져 1972년 스프링뱅크의 순도를 그대로 보여준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s surprisingly close to some refill matured mid-90s examples in some ways with these big notes of soft green fruits mixed with waxes, seawater, olive oil and camphor. Extremely pure, rather medical, punchy and very coastal. Pristine distillate! With water: just exquisitely chiselled, powerful, pure and saline. Raw petrol soaked into sheep wool, hessian, paraffin, ink and still a few glimmers of green and yellow fruits - although they lean more towards the exotic now
restaurant Palate
wow! Petrol mixed with seawater and lemon juice and then smoked. Some particularly saline cured meats, serrano ham etc, and also mint julep, iodine, citronella wax, tar, very grassy olive oil and many sharp, very precise medicines and embrocations. Fermenting honey, aged mead and sandalwood, some dried seaweed flakes in ramen broth and pure, briny pickling juices. Amazing! With water: stunning! Immensely dense in texture, thick, fat, gloopy waxes, salted heather honey, lemon oil, tar, vapour rubs and herbal cough syrups. Majestic!
timer Finish
wonderfully long and full of this particular saline honey quality, beach pebbles, chalk, peat, waxes, medicines and herbs
