향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
칼바도스 캐스크로 마감한 16년 숙성 표현답게 사과의 성격이 이름부터 구성까지 관통한다. 노즈에서는 바닐라 퍼지의 단맛이 먼저 잡히고 곧 고사리와 이끼, 젖은 버섯의 야생적인 결이 드러난다. 젖은 분필과 생강 토닉이 뒤를 받치며 향의 층은 예상보다 복잡하게 발전한다. 팰럿은 46도의 절제된 힘으로 감귤과 버터, 맥아 단맛을 밀어 올리고 사과 브랜디의 흔적이 중반에 또렷이 깃든다. 피니시는 레몬과 소금기로 정리된다.

air 아로마 (코)
we’re more in the vein of the second CV here, but with extra-oomph and more cask influence. More plain vanilla and vanilla fudge at first nosing but then it gets wilder, farmier, more vegetal and more mineral, not unlike the 12 we just had. Notes of fern, moss, fresh mushrooms, plantain bananas, roots, dead leaves... Then very big notes of wet chalk, a little porridge, ginger tonic, faint hints of turpentine and varnish, shoe polish... It’s very complex for such a young whisky, and certainly the one I like most of all recent bottlings by Springbank – so far!
restaurant 맛 (팔레트)
excellent attack, punchy but not overpowering, starting right on these very weird notes that I think are quite unpleasant in some recent Springbanks, Longrows or Hazelburns but that work quite well here. Something like Seven-Up or gin-tonic, or ginger wine. Also quite some butter, plain lemons, buttered toffee, malt, something like concentrated milk, melons... Let’s see what happens with water (and while the nose got smokier): more citrus (tangerines starting to rot – nothing wrong here), a little more salt and a very typical salty waxiness (?) plus quite some added spices, such as nutmeg and cinnamon and a sherry that got a little more obvious now but still rather discreet we think
timer 피니시
long, more compact (vanilla, lemons and salt) and also a little cleaner, which is exactly what’s expected in a very good whisky at my end. I think this is excellent at barely 10 years of age and I almost feel like shouting ‘hurray for Springbank!’ An old love of mine may well be back
