Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 젖은 바위와 석회, 분필을 연상시키는 미네랄이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 뒤이어 레몬과 자몽, 구두약과 마른 건초가 이어지며 향의 윤곽이 또렷해진다. 58.1도의 팰럿은 기름지고 멘톨과 장뇌, 후추, 왁스가 층을 이루며 발전한다. 물을 더하면 오래된 엔진 오일과 금속 광택제 같은 뉘앙스까지 드러난다. 피니시는 길고 풀 냄새와 분필, 레몬이 끝까지 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
as expected, this one's brighter, and much more mineral. You're nosing wet rocks, limestone, crushed chalk, concrete, tarmac, then rather lemons and grapefruits, shoe polish, hay... So this is very typically 'clean' Springbank, but clean Springbank can be quite dirty. Oh well, I know what I'm trying to say. With water: exceptional. Old engine oil, rusty tools, brake fluid, metal polish, and assorted mushrooms. Shi-take!
restaurant Palate
just superb. Very oily, mentholy, camphory, peppery, lemony, earthy, chalky, waxy, peely, sappy... Simply one of the very best distillates on this little planet. With water: splendid! More chalky and lemony waxes and oils, tar candies and liqueurs, polishes
timer Finish
long, grassier. Cactus, celeriac, chalk, lemon, balms
