Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 옅은 화이트 와인 빛 아래에서 희석한 레몬즙과 곡물 향이 먼저 인사하고 그 사이로 가느다란 연기가 스민다. 조금 더 흔들면 귀리죽과 진저에일 같은 향이 열리고 젖은 돌의 미네랄이 뒤를 받친다. 46도의 스프링뱅크 10년을 한 모금 머금으면 후추를 뿌린 사과즙과 파라핀이 지나가고 곧 말린 비터 오렌지와 훈연한 차가 진해진다. 삼키면 갓 깐 견과의 고소함과 옅은 연기가 캠벨타운답게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
light – not weak – in style, starting on a mix of diluted lemon juice, grains and smoke. Slight hints of cologne, porridge, ginger ale… Gets then rather flowery (lily of the valley) and even a little perfumy (vetiver, lemon balm) and finally quite mineral (wet stones), with also hints of plastic. Not hugely expressive but quite clean and complex considering it’s only five years old
restaurant Palate
starts rather smoothly, on peppered apple juice, paraffin and something quite herbal (grass juice – ever tried that?) and grows then bolder and more assertive, with quite some dried bitter oranges, mastic sweets, smoked tea and coffee flavoured toffee. Quite mature, I guess the bottle did a good part of the work here. Gets more almondy with time and the finish is frankly nutty (fresh ones) and slightly smoky. It’s not grand single malt but it’s very enjoyable and quite historical, because it shows that the great old Springbanks were probably not only a matter of good cask management. 86 points .
