향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
리필 버번 호그스헤드에서 21년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 노즈부터 밀랍과 프로폴리스, 오래된 종이의 왁시한 인상을 앞세운다. 미라벨 잼과 모과 젤리의 단맛이 그 위에 겹치고 시간이 지나면 코코넛과 파인애플 리큐어가 올라온다. 46도의 팰럿은 오렌지 잼과 설탕에 절인 금귤, 향신료와 견과가 차례로 발전하며 밀도가 상당하다. 옅은 연기가 끝까지 뼈대를 잡는다. 딥 앰버의 색이 이 긴 숙성을 예고한다.

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
