향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
깊은 호박빛이 잔에 그윽하게 잠긴다. 롱로우 21년은 벌집과 왁스, 프로폴리스와 묵은 종이의 향을 먼저 풀어내고 미라벨 잼과 마르멜로 젤리 사이로 모카와 옅은 연기가 피어오른다. 셰리와 버번을 섞은 캐스크가 빚은 입안은 놀랍도록 강렬하다. 각종 잼과 오렌지, 설탕에 절인 금귤이 향신료와 견과, 허브, 연기와 얽혀 번진다. 여운은 길고 풍성하게 이어지며 꿀과 연기의 잔향이 오래 머문다.

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
