Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밀짚처럼 옅은 술을 잔에서 흔들면 기름 걸레와 공구함 같은 냄새가 먼저 새어 나온다. 코를 더 넣으면 으깬 풀과 수영장 물, 점토와 분필이 이어져 배의 기관실이라는 별칭이 과장이 아님을 보여준다. 한 모금 머금으면 양모와 연고, 오래된 동전 같은 금속감이 혀에 닿고 54.7도의 열기가 뒤늦게 올라온다. 삼키면 후추와 옅은 소금기, 백악질 미네랄이 중간 길이로 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
funny how these batches start to come across as pretty 'old fashioned' these days; it's certainly from the 'less likely' era of production at Springbank with all these impressions of crushed greenery, swimming pool water, clay, chalk and oily toolbox rags. What's good though is that it still feels rather 'Springbank' and not totally swamped by overt rum. With water: peppery and still very much on clay and mineral oils, but I can't help but find it overall a tad flat
restaurant Palate
a bit funny really, on sheep wools, clays, ointments, old metal coins, metal polish and slightly sooty and cardboardy qualities. It's ok, but I'm not too sure… with water: a feeling of plainness now almost, with these notes of wet grains, vegetable soup, some aniseed, some more clay, perhaps a glimmer of medicine
timer Finish
medium, quite peppery, a tad salty and more clay and chalk
