Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
포레스 외곽의 작은 증류소 벤로막은 옛 스페이사이드 방식 그대로 옅은 피트를 더해 클래식한 몰트를 빚는다. 2001년 증류해 버번 캐스크에서 11년을 보낸 이 증류소 직접 병입은 잔에 옅은 금빛을 띠고, 향에서는 보리 사탕과 바닐라, 가느다란 모닥불 연기가 어우러진다. 입에서는 꿀과 시리얼, 은은한 피트가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 59.9도가 강하게 받친다. 여운에는 그을린 보리와 향신료가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it’s a very different beast, very powerful, spirity and medicinal (we’re talking antiseptic – not antisceptic). There’s some peat smoke, ashes, rocks, clay, roots, leaves and green apples but as I wrote, it’s powerful. Water is needed… With water: it got really wild, both coastal and farmy, somewhat ala Springbank. Farmyard, stable, kelp… In the background, more and more cough medicine, mint, camphor… Our beloved Vicks Vaporub?
restaurant Palate
very punchy, young, much less smoky than on the nose but with more obvious wood influence (bitter ginger here). Green apples, liquorice wood, gentian roots, brine… It’s very potent malt whisky. With water: excellent, herbal, malty, rooty, quite smoky and just as wild
timer Finish
long, crisp and farmy at the same time, with a little salt in the aftertaste
