Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크에서 8년을 보낸 시간이 스프링뱅크가 만든 이 헤이즐번 첫 에디션의 결을 다듬는다. 세 번 증류한 가벼운 몰트가 셰리 우드와 만나 희석한 레몬즙과 곡물, 옅은 연기와 꽃향을 맑게 풀어낸다. 46도의 입안은 후추 뿌린 사과즙과 파라핀, 허브 위로 마른 쓴 오렌지와 훈제 차가 겹치며 뜻밖의 성숙함을 드러낸다. 어린 나이에도 통이 해낸 몫이 또렷하고, 화이트 와인빛 아래로 견과와 옅은 연기의 여운이 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 .
