Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
캠벨타운의 짭조름한 바닷가 풍토가 스프링뱅크 특유의 기름진 질감을 빚어낸다. 1991년 증류해 27년을 보낸 이 위스키는 맑은 호박빛을 띠며, 코에는 바다 소금과 마른 풀, 옅은 피트 연기가 차례로 올라온다. 한 모금에 오일리한 보리 단맛과 견과, 희미한 훈연이 입안을 묵직하게 감싸고 46.4도의 도수가 균형을 잡는다. 긴 여운에는 소금기와 가죽 향이 천천히 남아 캠벨타운다운 개성을 또렷이 새긴다.
AITasting Notes

gold
air Nose
no no no, this is too fast, we shouldn’t have tried this one first. But it’s the lightest of them all, so… Amazing apricots stewed in mint and vanilla sauce, angelica, aniseed, then that magical sauce that gathers orange juice, olive oil and chestnut honey, some pollen, some tangerine skin (when they get very ripe), and a little thuja wood, or any very resinous wood. It is rather extraordinary, I have to say. This baby gathers old Springbanks (mid-1960s) and modern Springbank
restaurant Palate
in truth, it’s a Springbank that’s rather akin to the best fresher honeyed Speysiders. Early 1970s Glen Grants, Caperdonichs, or even older Lochsides… There are a few wackier metallic and mineral touches, though. It is very brilliant whisky, for sure. Overripe apples, mead, honeys, pollen, Virginia tobacco, older sultanas, dried litchis…
timer Finish
not too long, but beautifully honeyed
