Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번과 셰리 캐스크가 함께 빚어낸 10년 숙성이 스페이사이드 벤로막의 클래식한 골격을 단단히 세운다. 향은 옅은 모닥불 연기와 건포도, 보리가 정갈하게 솟는다. 57도 100프루프답게 입에서는 토피와 마른 과일, 가벼운 이탄 스모크가 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 두 가지 우드의 조화가 단맛과 스모크를 균형 있게 맞물린다. 짙은 호박빛 끝에는 셰리와 연기의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
the other day there was an article about smells that were disappearing, including ‘gun caps’. Well, this has clear notes of gun caps, walnuts, struck matches and burning pinewood at first nosing, before more bitter oranges, earth and leather are joining in the dancing. So a very fino-ish character altogether, I even find a little mustard. With water: it’s pure smoky and waxy manzanilla!
restaurant Palate
rich, oily, both sweet and pleasantly astringent, very peppery, thick, bitter… In short, rather beastly. The bitter oranges, and regular orange peel as well, do come in after a few seconds, together with some kind of smoked chocolate and a wee bitter/sour feeling. Ginger liqueur? Big stuff, as they say. With water: it’s tobacco and leather that are coming out. Always some walnuts, as well as a growing saltiness
timer Finish
lasting, leathery, smoky. Bitter oranges and pepper in the aftertaste
