Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
rather typical, very good mix-90s Springbank. That is to say, lots of wet pebbles, sandalwood, hessian, ozone, waxes, salty old rope, maritime zing, lemon peel and, in the background, a nice old workshop aroma. Lots of oily rags, steel wool, furniture oils, tool boxes and metal polish. In time it becomes sharper and saltier, some notes of beef stock, soy sauce and carbolic soap with a wee splash of old riesling. Excellent with a nicely chiseled sharpness and plenty coastal freshness
restaurant Palate
salted caramel and peanut brittle, bitter orange, light antiseptics, herbal throat sweets, medical ointments, some sandalwood, coal dust and bouillon. Beautiful flavours but perhaps a tad ‘light’ in weight and texture
timer Finish
a bit short, you feel it kind of fall away off the back of that rather soft body. Still, some nice gently lemony, herbal and saline notes linger in the aftertaste
