Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1995년 원액을 리필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 22년 둔 이 보틀링은 향에서 젖은 자갈과 백단, 오존의 인상이 먼저 두드러진다. 기름 먹은 헝겊과 금속 광택제 같은 작업장 뉘앙스가 뒤를 잇는다. 팰럿은 소금 캐러멜과 땅콩 브리틀, 비터 오렌지가 이어지며 석탄 가루의 인상이 배경에 깔린다. 다만 48.8도치고는 질감이 가벼운 편이다. 피니시는 짧고 레몬과 허브의 짠 여운을 남긴다.
AITasting 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
