향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
노즈에서는 캠벨타운 특유의 짭조름한 바다 내음과 토탄 연기가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 스프링뱅크가 증류한 롱로우 1974답게 기름진 질감이 향에서부터 예고된다. 팰럿으로 넘어가면 그을린 피트 아래로 말린 과일과 미네랄이 단단한 구조감을 이룬다. 46도라는 도수는 21년의 숙성과 맞물려 거칠지 않게 정돈된 인상을 준다. 피니시는 소금기와 그을음이 길게 이어지며 전체 균형이 단단하다.

extreme beehive, wax, propolis, old papers… Mirabelle jam, quince jelly… absolutely brilliant. Bold, coating… Gets then quite smoky, with some mocha. Then banana flambéed, coconut… Then some high-end wine (great old Pomerol – no, not just any merlot)… Then chicory… Then lots of pineapple liqueur, Malibu, old Muscat wine. Really breathtaking. Gets then buttery, with some crème brulée… Hay jam, apricot jam… Just an endless development starts on all sorts of dried fruits, honeys (pine, chestnut, lavender, acacia), wax, cooked apricot… Goes on with tarte tatin, butter caramel. It gets rather smoky after ten minutes or so, with some great crumb. Notes of old rum and vanilla. Perhaps it just lacks a little bit of vivacity

so extraordinarily bold! Almost pungent, after more than 20 years in its bottle. All sorts of jams, orange, crystallized kumquats. Lots of spices, nuts, smoke, herbs… I could go on for hours. S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. Second go after some breathing, one hour and a half later, from the very same glass (no refill!): the nose gets quite similar to a very old Sauternes or a Sélection de Grains Nobles (by Zind-Humbrecht, no need to say). Raisins, quince jelly, very old rum. The mouth is still very strong: old Port, grilled beef, balsamic vinegar… even some Japanese sake! A complete catalogue of aromas and flavours. Yes, this one is well a ‘Grand Cru’, or a malt king . 98 points (record!) Springbank 21 yo (46%, parchment label, ‘Archibald Mitchell’, 80’s) Colour; apricot lots of herbal tea and dust, cocoa powder and cinnamon, getting slightly bitter. Yet there’s a lot of light toffee, caramel, cooked apple, candy sugar… It even gets quite hot, but also tannic and dusty. The finish is quite long but again, rather tannic, that’s why my rating is ‘only’ 91 points . TASTING - Springbank 34 yo 1969/2003 (54.7%, Signatory Rare Reserve, butt #262, 408 bottles) This one’s been matured in a second-fill sherry cask
