Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 금빛이 잔 속에 깊게 어린다. 리필 버번 호그스헤드에서 21년을 보낸 헤이즐번은 캠벨타운 특유의 부싯돌 같은 광물성을 앞세워, 호두와 낙엽, 금속 광택제, 씁쓸한 오렌지의 향을 시간을 두고 풀어놓는다. 47도의 입안에서는 겨자 같은 톡 쏘는 드라이함과 후추, 풋호두, 가죽, 정향이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 여운은 길고 짭조름하게 이어지며 가죽과 호두, 씁쓸한 오렌지, 후추의 잔향을 오래 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
flints in abundance, also walnuts (naturally) and this feeling of brake fluid, but it’s a bit closed and may need some oxygen. Let’s give this baby a little time… (… you may play some stuff by Frank Zappa in your head while you wait…) Right, more walnuts, also autumn leaves and metal polish, dried porcini, some kind of grassy soot, bitter oranges… It is very Springbank, but perhaps a tad shy? Or is it me? The palate will tell
restaurant Palate
it was me. It’s a mustardy Springbank, pretty fino-y (or is that bone dry Madeira?), peppery, with even more green walnuts now, old chardonnay, pecans, a drop of Worcester sauce maybe, more bitter oranges, bitter herbs, rather a lot of leather, cloves, caraway… I have to say I tend to prefer either bourbon, or rounder sherry, but of course, we’re still flying pretty high. So perhaps not a stratospheric Springbank in my book, but there… Oh and could be that reduction did it a little harm, I don’t think that’s impossible
timer Finish
long, salty on leather, walnuts and bitter oranges. Peppery aftertaste, with some amontillado?
