Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
금빛 술을 잔에서 굴리면 기름과 파라핀 냄새가 먼저 새어 나와 스프링뱅크임을 알린다. 코를 더 넣으면 꿀과 마른 과실, 소나무 수지와 유칼립투스가 이어지고 금속성 과일 향이 독특하게 끼어든다. 한 모금 머금으면 47.7도의 술이 바나나와 코코넛, 파인애플로 열대 쪽에 크게 기운다. 삼키면 망고와 벌꿀주 같은 단맛이 중간 길이로 남아 26년 버번 배럴 숙성의 결과를 보여준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
indeed, I was right (nothing to be proud of, old boy) there is more Springbankness in this vintage. I mean, more greases and oils, carbs, paraffin, engine oil and stuff. But other than that, there’s still a huge honeyness, some wonderful dried fruits, a stunning kind of fruity metallic side, some pinesap, moss, toothpaste, eucalyptus, and perhaps some kind of tropical wine. They make banana wine in Guadeloupe, that could be it. Or mango wine. And there’s quite some marzipan too
restaurant Palate
we’re more towards 1991 than 1993 here, with loads of tropical fruits that would almost generate a feeling of soap. A lot of bananas, coconuts, pineapples, papayas, then softer honeys, spearmint cordial, some panettone, fresh croissants… To be honest, it is very good, but not extremely Springbanky on the palate. Again, this could be, say Glen Grant 1972
timer Finish
medium, with rather more ‘soapy mangos’ and quite some mead
