Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
typical Springbank from that era. In all honesty, I prefer the ones that had been distilled either in the 1960s (more complex), or since the mid-1990s (more oomph and minerality), but I won’t deny that this nose is quite awesome, as it’s ridden with honeyed notes and overripe fruits. Figs and mead, I’d say. In fact it’s rather very meady. Some drying kelp in the distance, but also something that I sometimes find in these batches, something slightly plastic-like
restaurant Palate
no, cancel all what I said, this is rather excellent. Grapefruit marmalade and lavender honey, mirabelle jam, more mead, and something distantly coastal, hard to describe. Perhaps some kind of Japanese brine, I don’t know… A little pipe tobacco too, but the grapefruit jam always stays in the front
timer Finish
long, slightly hammy/meaty, always with these perfect notes of grapefruits and mead. And this brine in the aftertaste
