Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 미네랄과 왁스가 앞서고 그 위에 건포도의 둥근 단맛이 겹치며 명확하게 드러난다. 가죽과 젖은 흙, 담뱃잎, 구운 밤과 호두가 이어지며 셰리 호그스헤드의 영향을 알린다. 56.3도의 팰럿은 고무와 성냥, 파라핀 같은 공업적 뉘앙스에 짭짤한 오렌지가 겹쳐 발전한다. 피니시는 길고 특유의 시큼한 소금기가 남는다. 깔끔함보다 개성으로 승부하는 전형적인 스프링뱅크다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
believe me or not, this is more or less a blend of the two previous ones. That is to say a rather more mineral and waxy Springbank, coated with some rounder, more raisiny aromas. Leather, mud, tobacco, saltpetre, roasted chestnuts and toasted walnuts, ink, carbon paper, new magazines… You see. With water: rather a pile of old magazines in an old attic. You know, Kennedy shot down, Man on the moon, Vietnam, Jimi Hendrix…
restaurant Palate
great rubber and brake fluid and new tyres and struck matches and paraffin and… salty oranges. In short, the Springbankest of them all. With water: there’s a quality limoncello quality to it once you’ve reduced it. A dirtiness as well, but Springbank ought to be a little dirty, in my opinion
timer Finish
long, with this wonderful wee salty sourness that’s so… idiosyncratic
