Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
황금에 가까운 옅은 호박빛이 잔 속에 잠잠히 잠겨 있다. 21년의 버번 숙성을 거친 스프링뱅크답게 짭조름한 미네랄과 잘 익은 사과, 부드러운 바닐라가 코를 채운다. 한 모금이 입에 들어오면 캠벨타운 특유의 옅은 오일감 위로 꿀과 토피가 미끄러진다. 54.4도의 도수가 따뜻한 무게로 입천장에 머물고, 짠 흙내가 마지막까지 잔향을 잡아둔다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
really another era of whisky production. This rather fat and greasy nose that feels almost viscerally textural. Clay, petrol, oily sheep wool, lanolin and some pure, brutal and pretty chalky medical aromas. Develops the most astoundingly pure medical aroma with the leanest of peat profiles. Cereals, chimney soot, kiln air and the rather fermentary note of distillery wash and carbolic acidity. It’s also rather tangy with things like horseradish, mustard powder and various shades of ground pepper. Humbling and pretty astonishing whisky. With water: the very definition of purity in malt whisky. Putty, clay, ointments, embrocations, raw seawater, petrol, mineral salts and bandages
restaurant Palate
immense arrival. Camphor, metal polish, soot, waxes, tar, iodine, peat, crushed seashells and the most brutal, raw and powerful medical embrocations imaginable. Utterly uncompromising, direct and powerful whisky. Unlike anything else. Cereals, chalk, acidity, flint smoke, ink, fabrics and paraffin. Another whisky that you could just go on with forever. With water: astonishing. Extraordinary. A Venn diagram of medicine, salinity and waxiness with a clarity of personality and a level purity, precision and power that is heart-stopping
timer Finish
long, bone-dry, austere but also charismatic in the extreme and still touching on these core aspects of purity, medicine and raw, controlled power
